Friday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2320399158","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"U.S. stocks could see increasingly wild swings in the coming days as option contracts tied to trilli","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>U.S. stocks could see increasingly wild swings in the coming days as option contracts tied to trillions of dollars in securities are set to expire on Friday, removing a buffer that some say has helped to keep the S&amp;P 500 index from breaking out of a tight trading range.</p><p>Option contracts worth $2.8 trillion are set to expire during Friday&#39;s &#34;quadruple witching&#34; event, according to figures from Goldman Sachs Group <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GS\">$(GS)$</a>.</p><p>&#34;Quadruple witching,&#34; as its known, happens when equity futures and option contracts tied to individual stocks and indexes --- as well as exchange-traded funds -- all expire on the same day. Some option contracts expire in the morning, while others expire in the afternoon. This typically happens four times a year, roughly once per quarter.</p><p>Days like these sometimes coincide with volatility in markets as traders scramble to cut their losses or exercise &#34;in the money&#34; contracts to claim their winnings.</p><p>However, a top derivatives analyst at Goldman sees the potential for stocks to see even wilder swings in the sessions to come as a rash of contracts that have helped to suppress volatility in the equity market expire.</p><p>Options expiring on Friday could &#34;remove the 4k pinner that has kept a lid on big moves,&#34; said Scott Rubner, a managing director and top derivatives strategist at Goldman, in a note to clients obtained by MarketWatch. This could make the S&amp;P 500 more vulnerable to a big swing in either direction.</p><p>&#34;Either way. We are going to move next week.&#34;</p><p>Since the start of the year, the S&amp;P 500 has traded in a narrow channel of about 400 points bounded by 3,800 on the downside, and 4,200 on the upside, according to data from FactSet.</p><p>These levels correspond with some of the most popular strike prices for options tied to the S&amp;P 500, according to data from Rubner&#39;s note. A strike price is the level at which the holder of a contract has the opportunity -- but not the obligation -- to buy or sell a security, depending on the type of option one owns.</p><p>That&#39;s not a coincidence. Over the past year,  trading in option contracts on the verge of expiring, known as &#34;zero-days to expiration&#34; or &#34;0DTE&#34; options, has become increasingly popular.</p><p>One result of this trend is that they have helped keep stocks in a narrow range, while fueling more intraday swings within that range, a pattern that several traders have compared to a &#34;game of ping pong.&#34;</p><p>According to Goldman, 0DTEs represent more than 40% of average daily trading  volume in contracts tied to the S&amp;P 500.</p><p>Earlier this week, trading in 0DTEs helped keep the S&amp;P 500 from breaking below the 3,800 level as markets reeled following the closure of three U.S. banks, according to Brent Kochuba, founder of SpotGamma, a provider of data and analytics about the option market.</p><p>Analysts says this is one reason that the Cboe Volatility Index , otherwise known as the Vix or Wall Street volatility gauge, has remained so subdued compared with the ICE BofAML MOVE Index, a gauge of implied volatility for the Treasury market, Kochuba and others told MarketWatch.</p><p>The MOVE index awed traders earlier this week as volatility in normally placid Treasurys sent it surging to its highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

Other banks will deposit smaller amounts as part of a plan devised along with US regulators.</p><p>“This action by America’s largest banks reflects their confidence in First Republic and in banks of all sizes,” the banks said in their statement. The consortium cited the outflows of uninsured deposits at a small number of banks following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dbbca686ada81d9e2312e9aebe7bd164\" tg-width=\"727\" tg-height=\"224\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/>First Republic has been exploring strategic options including a possible sale, Bloomberg News reported late Wednesday. The lender’s shares have plummeted in the aftermath of regulators’ seizure of fellow regional lenders Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank over the past week.</p><p>“This show of support by a group of large banks is most welcome, and demonstrates the resilience of the banking system,” US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg and Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu said in a joint statement.</p><p>Also contributing deposits are PNC Financial Services Group Inc., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., Truist Financial Corp., U.S. Bancorp and State Street Corp., which will each put in $1 billion.</p><p>The deal began to take shape Tuesday and came together in about two days, with the idea of bringing the banks on board broached during a call that included Yellen, Powell and Gruenberg, as well as Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan, according to people familiar with the matter.</p><p>Yellen and Dimon agreed the idea had merit, with Dimon taking the lead to contact other bank leaders and Yellen making calls, too, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the private talks.</p><p>Another call Thursday morning among regulators and CEOs helped finalize the plan. The deal includes deposits with an initial term of 120 days at market rates, First Republic said, and they could remain in place even longer, people familiar with the terms said.</p><p>In some ways, the rescue resembles the 1998 plan devised to bail out Long Term Capital Management without using public money, after the hedge fund made a set of disastrous wrong-way bets. Back then, the Fed convened a meeting of Wall Street executives from Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and about a dozen others. They agreed to pump $3.65 billion into the fund to keep it afloat and avert a collapse in financial markets.</p><h3>Bank’s Future</h3><p>As with LTCM, the banks saw saving First Republic as ultimately in their best interests, rather than risk a widening panic that might engulf more of them, one of the people said. Unlike LTCM, the First Republic rescue isn’t a wind-down, but sets up the bank to have a future, which could still include shopping around for a buyer, the people said.</p><p>The joint effort “is a powerful step to bolster liquidity and reflects our confidence in the critical role of regional banks in our economy and across the communities we serve,” Truist Chief Executive Officer Bill Rogers said in an emailed statement.</p><p>Capital One Financial Corp. was asked to participate in the consortium, but given the credit-card giant’s business mix and the fact that it didn’t have an existing relationship with First Republic, the company chose not to participate, according to a person familiar with the matter. A spokesman for Capital One declined to comment.</p><p>Shares of First Republic swung wildly Thursday, plunging as much as 36% early in the day, then surging as much as 28% midday after details of the emerging plan were first reported. The stock closed up 10% and then slipped in extended New York trading after the bank announced it was suspending its dividend.</p><p>First Republic, which specializes in private banking and has built up a wealth-management franchise with some $271 billion in assets, has made an effort to differentiate itself from SVB Financial Group’s Silicon Valley Bank. Unlike SVB, which counted startups and venture firms among its biggest clients, First Republic said that no sector represents more than 9% of total business deposits.</p><p>Silicon Valley Bank collapsed into FDIC receivership Friday after its customer base of tech startups grew concerned and pulled deposits.</p><p>First Republic Chairman Jim Herbert and CEO Mike Roffler said in a statement that the banks’ “collective support strengthens our liquidity position, reflects the ongoing quality of our business, and is a vote of confidence for First Republic and the entire US banking system.”</p><p>As of Wednesday, First Republic had a cash position of about $34 billion, not including the deposits from the banks. Since the close of business on March 9, First Republic has increased short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank by $10 billion at a rate of 5.09%, the company said.</p><p>First Republic said it’s “focused on reducing its borrowings and evaluating the composition and size of its balance sheet,” and will suspend its stock dividend while it recovers.</p><p>First Republic has been working with JPMorgan as it tackles its challenges. On Sunday, the same day Signature Bank was taken over by regulators, First Republic said it “further enhanced and diversified its financial position” by securing additional liquidity from the Federal Reserve and JPMorgan.</p><p>“The effort by the federal government to bring together the banking sector, including U.S. Bank, speaks to the strength of the overall financial system,” said a spokesman for the Minneapolis-based lender.</p></body></html>","source":"lsy1584095487587","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Other banks will deposit smaller amounts as part of a plan devised along with US regulators.“This action by America’s largest banks reflects their confidence in First Republic and in banks of all sizes,” the banks said in their statement. The consortium cited the outflows of uninsured deposits at a small number of banks following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.First Republic has been exploring strategic options including a possible sale, Bloomberg News reported late Wednesday. The lender’s shares have plummeted in the aftermath of regulators’ seizure of fellow regional lenders Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank over the past week.“This show of support by a group of large banks is most welcome, and demonstrates the resilience of the banking system,” US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg and Acting Comptroller of the Currency Michael Hsu said in a joint statement.Also contributing deposits are PNC Financial Services Group Inc., Bank of New York Mellon Corp., Truist Financial Corp., U.S. Bancorp and State Street Corp., which will each put in $1 billion.The deal began to take shape Tuesday and came together in about two days, with the idea of bringing the banks on board broached during a call that included Yellen, Powell and Gruenberg, as well as Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan, according to people familiar with the matter.Yellen and Dimon agreed the idea had merit, with Dimon taking the lead to contact other bank leaders and Yellen making calls, too, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the private talks.Another call Thursday morning among regulators and CEOs helped finalize the plan. The deal includes deposits with an initial term of 120 days at market rates, First Republic said, and they could remain in place even longer, people familiar with the terms said.In some ways, the rescue resembles the 1998 plan devised to bail out Long Term Capital Management without using public money, after the hedge fund made a set of disastrous wrong-way bets. Back then, the Fed convened a meeting of Wall Street executives from Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and about a dozen others. They agreed to pump $3.65 billion into the fund to keep it afloat and avert a collapse in financial markets.Bank’s FutureAs with LTCM, the banks saw saving First Republic as ultimately in their best interests, rather than risk a widening panic that might engulf more of them, one of the people said. Unlike LTCM, the First Republic rescue isn’t a wind-down, but sets up the bank to have a future, which could still include shopping around for a buyer, the people said.The joint effort “is a powerful step to bolster liquidity and reflects our confidence in the critical role of regional banks in our economy and across the communities we serve,” Truist Chief Executive Officer Bill Rogers said in an emailed statement.Capital One Financial Corp. was asked to participate in the consortium, but given the credit-card giant’s business mix and the fact that it didn’t have an existing relationship with First Republic, the company chose not to participate, according to a person familiar with the matter. A spokesman for Capital One declined to comment.Shares of First Republic swung wildly Thursday, plunging as much as 36% early in the day, then surging as much as 28% midday after details of the emerging plan were first reported. The stock closed up 10% and then slipped in extended New York trading after the bank announced it was suspending its dividend.First Republic, which specializes in private banking and has built up a wealth-management franchise with some $271 billion in assets, has made an effort to differentiate itself from SVB Financial Group’s Silicon Valley Bank. Unlike SVB, which counted startups and venture firms among its biggest clients, First Republic said that no sector represents more than 9% of total business deposits.Silicon Valley Bank collapsed into FDIC receivership Friday after its customer base of tech startups grew concerned and pulled deposits.First Republic Chairman Jim Herbert and CEO Mike Roffler said in a statement that the banks’ “collective support strengthens our liquidity position, reflects the ongoing quality of our business, and is a vote of confidence for First Republic and the entire US banking system.”As of Wednesday, First Republic had a cash position of about $34 billion, not including the deposits from the banks. Since the close of business on March 9, First Republic has increased short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank by $10 billion at a rate of 5.09%, the company said.First Republic said it’s “focused on reducing its borrowings and evaluating the composition and size of its balance sheet,” and will suspend its stock dividend while it recovers.First Republic has been working with JPMorgan as it tackles its challenges. On Sunday, the same day Signature Bank was taken over by regulators, First Republic said it “further enhanced and diversified its financial position” by securing additional liquidity from the Federal Reserve and JPMorgan.“The effort by the federal government to bring together the banking sector, including U.S. Bank, speaks to the strength of the overall financial system,” said a spokesman for the Minneapolis-based lender.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":341,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9943335757,"gmtCreate":1679112350680,"gmtModify":1679112354206,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9943335757","repostId":"1126461227","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1126461227","pubTimestamp":1679104200,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1126461227?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-18 09:50","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Are Banks on the Edge of Another 2008-Style Precipice?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1126461227","media":"Financial Times","summary":"Bearish nerves seem to be winning right now — despite good reasons to hope notUS bank shares are dow","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Bearish nerves seem to be winning right now — despite good reasons to hope not</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51ea2dddf4011084e557bd147c970adf\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"394\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>US bank shares are down 17% over the past fortnight © Brendan McDermid/Reuters</span></p><p>Northern Rock, Bear Stearns, Countrywide Financial and Alliance &amp; Leicester.

The last FDIC-insured institution to close was Almena State Bank in Kansas, on October 23, 2020.The main office and all branches of Silicon Valley Bank will reopen on March 13 and all insured depositors will have full access to their insured deposits no later than Monday morning, according to the FDIC statement.Technology workers whose paychecks relied on the bank were worried about getting paid on Friday. An SVB branch in San Francisco showed a Scotch-taped note telling clients to call a toll-free telephone number.SVB, which does business as Silicon Valley Bank, was not immediately available for comment. Its customers were met with locked doors on Friday. A client dashboard was down, a UK-based client of the bank told Reuters.Dean Nelson, CEO of Cato Digital, was on a line outside of SVB Santa Clara headquarters, hoping to get answers. Nelson said he was worried about the company's ability to pay employees and cover expenses.\"Access to the cash is the biggest problem for the majority of the companies here. If you’re a startup, cash is king. The cash and the workflow, to be able to have the runway is critical.\"U.S. banks have lost over $100 billion in stock market value over the past two days, with European banks losing around another $50 billion in value, according to a Reuters calculation. Regional banks sold off on Friday.Some forecast more pain for the sector.\"There could be a bloodbath next week as banks are in trouble, the short sellers are out there and they are going to attack every single bank, especially the smaller ones,\" said Christopher Whalen, chairman of Whalen Global Advisors.U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with banking regulators on Friday expressed \"full confidence\" in their abilities to respond to the situation, Treasury said.The White House on Friday said it had faith and confidence in U.S. financial regulators, when asked about the failure of SVB. Cecilia Rouse, who chairs the Council of Economic Advisers, said the U.S. banking system was fundamentally stronger than it was during the 2008 financial crisis.The FDIC said it would seek to sell SVB's assets and that future dividend payments may be made to uninsured depositors.\"The first bank failure since 2020 is a wake-up call,\" said Matthew Goldberg, an analyst at Bankrate. \"Even during times when there are no bank failures or few bank failures, you always have to make sure your money is safe and within FDIC limits and rules at an FDIC-insured bank.\"PAIN SPREADSThe bank scrambled this week to reassure its venture capital clients their money was safe after a capital raise led to its stock collapsing 60% and contributed to wiping out over $80 billion in value from bank shares.Shares of SVB remained halted on Friday after tumbling as much as 66% in premarket trading. While the suspension of SVB's shares made it hard to assess how much value was left at SVB, the trading of its bonds offered clues. Most of its long-dated bonds collapsed in value on Friday, with a May 2028 bond trading down from 85 cents to 36 cents on the dollar.The rout in SVB's stock, which began on Thursday, spilled over into other U.S. and European banks, with the episode spreading concern about hidden risks in the sector and its vulnerability to the rising cost of money. But banking shares were well off their lows on Friday.U.S. lenders First Republic Bank (FRC.N) and Western Alliance (WAL.N) said on Friday their liquidity and deposits remained strong, aiming to calm investors.The S&P 500 regional banks index (.SPLRCBNKS) dropped 4.3%, bringing its loss this week to 18%, its worst week since 2009. The S&P 500 banks index (.SPXBK), which includes both large and medium banks, fell 0.5%, bringing its loss this week to over 11.5%.The problems at SVB underscore how a campaign by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to fight inflation by ending t he era of cheap money is exposing vulnerabilities in the market.Global borrowing costs have risen at the fastest pace in decades over the last year as the Federal Reserve lifted U.S. rates by 450 basis points from near zero, while the European Central Bank hiked the euro zone's by 300 bps.\"Silicon Valley Bank is shedding light on vulnerabilities across the US banking sector, primarily in the bond holdings that many large institutions hold,\" said Karl Schamotta, Chief Market Strategist at Corpay.'CHAOS' AS CLIENTS RUSH TO WITHDRAWAs higher interest rates caused the market for initial public offerings to shut down for many startups and made private fundraising more costly, some SVB clients started pulling money out.To fund the redemptions, SVB sold on Wednesday a $21 billion bond portfolio consisting mostly of U.S. Treasuries. SVB announced on Thursday it would sell $2.25 billion in common equity and preferred convertible stock to fill its funding hole.One UK-based principal at a venture capital firm, who asked to be anonymous because he is not authorized to speak to press, said his firm had rushed to pull “single digit millions” from four accounts at Silicon Valley Bank late on Thursday.The source characterized the situation as \"chaos.\"The technology sector has been hit hard and stress has appeared in other corners of the market as rates rise.Sources familiar with the situation said on Thursday that some startups had advised their founders to pull out money from SVB as a precautionary measure.Short sellers in SVB have profited by $717 million since Wednesday's close, according to analytics firm Ortex.\"The market is tired of companies that do business with unprofitable companies or that are unprofitable themselves,\" said David Trainer, CEO of New Constructs, an investment research firm.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":201,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949609931,"gmtCreate":1678545636223,"gmtModify":1678545639606,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":17,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949609931","repostId":"1188991015","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1188991015","pubTimestamp":1678524311,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1188991015?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-11 16:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Jobs Report, Bank Failure Complicate Outlook on Interest Rates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1188991015","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Fed officials could debate whether to raise rates by a quarter- or half-percentage-point at their next meeting","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>The February employment report does little to sharply alter the economic outlook for Federal Reserve officials who are considering how much to raise interest rates at their coming meeting.</p><p>But the failure of a California bank on Friday led investors on Wall Street to pare their bets that the central bank would opt for a larger half-percentage-point increase, rather than a smaller quarter-point bump, amid broader concerns about financial stability risks.</p><p>Investors in interest-rate futures markets on Friday afternoon saw a nearly 60% probability of a quarter-point, or 25-basis-point, rate rise, according to CME Group.

The fed-funds rate influences other borrowing costs throughout the economy.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":104,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949133729,"gmtCreate":1678417462461,"gmtModify":1678417466182,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949133729","repostId":"1106455600","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949133496,"gmtCreate":1678417454015,"gmtModify":1678417457753,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949133496","repostId":"2318291798","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2318291798","pubTimestamp":1678416179,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2318291798?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-10 10:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Elon Musk Is Planning a Texas Utopia—His Own Town","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2318291798","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"The entrepreneur is laying plans for a new community outside Austin next to Boring and SpaceX facilities, dubbed Snailbrook","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>AUSTIN, Texas -- Elon Musk is planning to build his own town on part of thousands of acres of newly purchased pasture and farmland outside the Texas capital, according to deeds and other land records and people familiar with the project.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2d3d259cfc11ad20d45e9703267aa871\" tg-width=\"1893\" tg-height=\"1266\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: DAVE COLE/WSJ</span></p><p>In meetings with landowners and real-estate agents, Mr. Musk and employees of his companies have described his vision as a sort of Texas utopia along the Colorado River, where his employees could live and work.</p><p>Executives at the Boring Co., Mr. Musk&#39;s tunnel operation, have discussed and researched incorporating the town in Bastrop County, about 35 miles from Austin, which would allow Mr. Musk to set some regulations in his own municipality and expedite his plans, according to people familiar with Mr. Musk&#39;s projects.</p><p>They say Mr. Musk and his top executives want his Austin-area employees, including workers at Boring, electric-car maker Tesla Inc. and space and exploration company SpaceX, to be able to live in new homes with below-market rents.</p><p><b>Land tied to Elon Musk</b></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6f07d719604386e7f92e471744a7df5a\" tg-width=\"1049\" tg-height=\"702\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Note: Property boundaries are approximate.

PHOTO: BOB DAEMMRICH/ZUMA PRESS</span></p><p>Some local real-estate and land officials said they have been told by people close to Mr. Musk that the billionaire owns even more land in the area -- as much as 6,000 acres.</p><p>When Mr. Musk left his longtime home of California more than two years ago, he said he had lost patience with rules and regulations in that state, where Tesla and Boring were then headquartered before moving to Texas. California is the land of &#34;overregulation, overlitigation, overtaxation,&#34; he said in December 2021.</p><p>Texas has fewer zoning laws and environmental and labor requirements, and has vast swaths of loosely regulated land. Unlike California, it has no corporate income tax or income or capital-gains taxes on individuals.</p><p>Last month, Tesla said it was continuing to expand in California, too, and named an office in Palo Alto as its engineering headquarters. Tesla&#39;s corporate headquarters remains in Texas.</p><p>The Texas land purchases have taken place through at least four limited liability companies. Those companies are tied to Mr. Musk&#39;s businesses or their officers in county deed and land records and state business filings that list their names.</p><p>The plans include a project to build a private residential compound for Mr. Musk that potentially would be some distance from the planned town, according to people familiar with the plans.</p><p>Mr. Musk has been a chief driver of the plans, and the land purchases all have to be approved by him, said people familiar with the operation.</p><p>In many of the purchases tracked by the Journal, sellers have been required to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to people who have signed them. Local economic-development officials said they were asked to sign such agreements when they were told Boring was coming to town.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ff63e4a81c6182c4c52a91213420479\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>Construction at a SpaceX site in Bastrop County in February.</span></p><p>During a spring 2020 visit to the condo of Steve Adler, then mayor of Austin, Mr. Musk sought assurances from him and an official in Travis County, where Austin is located, that government bureaucracy wouldn&#39;t stand in the way of his many projects, Mr. Adler said. &#34;What he wanted from the city was speed,&#34; said Mr. Adler, a Democrat who left office when his second term ended this January.</p><p>Soon after, Mr. Musk began building the Tesla manufacturing facility known as Giga Texas -- more than 10 million square feet on roughly 2,500 acres in Travis County, outside Austin, according to land records and Tesla&#39;s website.</p><p>In neighboring Bastrop County, about an hour southeast of Austin, SpaceX is building a 500,000-square-foot facility, and, across state road 1209, Boring is building a new warehouse.</p><p>Last June, Robert Pugh, then Bastrop County&#39;s director of engineering, complained in an email to Clara Beckett, the county commissioner in charge of planning, that staffers had been &#34;regularly hounded&#34; by employees and contractors of Boring and Starlink, a SpaceX unit. They want the county to &#34;expedite and approve permit applications that are incomplete and not in compliance&#34; with the county&#39;s regulations, Mr. Pugh wrote.</p><p>Mr. Pugh left his job that same month and didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment. Ms. Beckett didn&#39;t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>The planned town would sit in Bastrop County. An entity called Gapped Bass LLC, of which state records show Boring&#39;s Mr. Davis serving as president, now owns more than 200 acres there, all purchased within the past two years. SpaceX has purchased about 60 more acres. The land was previously owned by longtime ranchers and other Texas families.</p><p>As of last year, Boring employees could apply for a home with rents starting at about $800 a month for a two- or three-bedroom, according to an advertisement for employees viewed by the Journal and people familiar with the plans. If an employee leaves or is fired, he or she would have to vacate the house within 30 days, those people said.</p><p>The median rent in Bastrop, Texas, is about $2,200 a month, according to real-estate listing company <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/Z\">Zillow</a> Group Inc.</p><p>Executives have discussed opening the houses to all employees of Mr. Musk&#39;s companies.</p><p>Gapped Bass has filed paperwork with Bastrop County to build 110 more homes in the planned town, which it calls &#34;Project Amazing.&#34;</p><p>Bastrop County officials approved street names such as &#34;Boring Boulevard, &#34; &#34;Waterjet Way&#34; and &#34;Cutterhead Crossing,&#34; according to county meeting documents.</p><p>Boring plans to convert a home on the property into a Montessori school for as many as 15 students, according to correspondence between a Boring company official and a county government employee.</p><p>Adena Lewis, the county&#39;s director of tourism and economic development, said she isn&#39;t sure of Boring&#39;s time frame for the development, but the region sorely needs new housing. &#34;They&#39;re very respectful of us,&#34; she said. &#34;But they&#39;re in a hurry.&#34;</p><p>Ms. Lewis said the county&#39;s small size made it attractive to Mr. Musk&#39;s companies. &#34;I think it&#39;s the ability to work with folks on a direct level, and not having tons of red tape,&#34; she said.</p><p>Mr. Musk has long envisioned building a town, and a couple of years ago helped his brother, Kimbal Musk, refine an idea to build an off-the-grid community, according to people familiar with the plans. It couldn&#39;t be determined where that idea stands. When the Journal reached out to a spokeswoman for Kimbal Musk, describing the project, including a purported name, she said he wasn&#39;t aware of the project as described and didn&#39;t respond to further requests for clarification.</p><p>Mr. Musk has been a proponent of affordable housing for employees. In 2018, during a public panel discussion with then-Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Mr. Musk talked about building housing for Tesla workers alongside the company&#39;s huge complex outside Reno.</p><p>In 2021, Mr. Musk tweeted about creating “the city of Starbase, Texas,” in Boca Chica Village, where SpaceX has operations along the Gulf of Mexico. It isn’t clear whether the city has been incorporated. A spokeswoman for Cameron County, where Boca Chica Village is located, didn’t respond to requests for comment.</p><p>Mr. Musk has explored building a private compound on some of the newly acquired land in Bastrop County, according to people familiar with his plans. For some of the past two years, he has stayed at a friend’s mansion in Austin, the Journal has reported.</p><p>The status and location of the potential house couldn’t be determined. The people familiar with the plan say the town is a separate project.</p><p>Some locals have sold land to Mr. Musk’s companies. Others who own land in Bastrop and Travis counties said they have gotten few answers from Mr. Musk’s companies about their plans, and have said they won’t sell.</p><p>Some said they feel steamrolled by eager public officials who aren’t asking enough questions. “They’re just going as fast as they can,” said Mr. Ambrose, whose home overlooks the Boring site.</p><p>In 2013, when Mr. Ambrose bought his 10 acres of hilltop land, there were only about a dozen residences within a mile. Since the spring of 2021, Boring has erected several warehouses and dug at least two test tunnels, and SpaceX is constructing the largest building in the county.</p><p>“There’s no transparency,” said David Barrow, who runs Eden East Farm on Bastrop’s North Main Street, which supports his family’s two restaurants and a farmstand.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e5d1e2b8ef7cf0b8a50fdad1965f25d8\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"701\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>David Barrow, who runs a farm in Bastrop, is worried the new projects could threaten water quality.</span></p><p>Boring employees are among his regular customers, Mr. Barrow said, but he is worried the new projects could threaten the water quality of the Colorado River and the aquifers that supply the region’s wells.</p><p>Recently, Boring applied to state environmental authorities to discharge up to 140,000 gallons of industrial wastewater a day into the river.</p><p>“I would like to know what is actually being sprayed, what they’re actually building, and who is going to hold them accountable,” Mr. Barrow said, referring to plans to disperse some wastewater onto Boring land.</p><p>Ms. Lewis, the director of tourism and economic development, said she had no concerns that the company’s development would harm the river and surrounding farmland.</p><p>After being approached by some landowners, including Mr. Ambrose, Texas State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt requested a public environmental hearing set for this month.</p><p>“We’re going to need to have more of a conversation and be able to verify the assertions that these companies are making with regard to the discharge permit into the Colorado River,” Ms. Eckhardt said.</p><p>Instead of trying to force one of the world’s richest men out of town, Mr. Ambrose said, “we can make him be a good member of the community and be a good neighbor and follow the law. And that, to me, is worth the effort.”</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cb7893aed943e3bf8cb0f0915f1e2e5\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>New Boring Co. buildings have risen near pasture land in Bastrop County.</span></p></body></html>","source":"wsj_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Signs hanging from poles read \"welcome, snailbrook, tx, est. 2021.\"Snailbrook is a reference to Boring's mascot. When Mr. Musk started the tunneling venture, he challenged employees to build boring machines that move \"faster than a snail.\"Some Boring employees, including Steve Davis, the company's president and a top lieutenant to Mr. Musk, have at times described even bigger plans, including creating an entire city, according to some of those people and text messages viewed by The Wall Street Journal.During an all-hands meeting of Boring employees last year, Mr. Davis said they would have to hold an election for mayor, according to text messages and people familiar with the meeting.Mr. Musk, his former girlfriend, who is the singer Grimes, Kanye West and Mr. West's architectural designer discussed several times last year what a Musk town might look like, according to people familiar with the discussions. Those talks included broad ideas and some visual mock-ups, according to one of the people, but haven't resulted in concrete plans.The Snailbrook neighborhood, top, near a Boring Co. construction site. Documents filed in the Bastrop County Commissioners Court in January, above, show plans for 110 more homes near the land where Snailbrook is located.Representatives for Mr. West, who goes by Ye, and Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, couldn't be reached for comment.Under Texas law, a town needs at least 201 residents before it can apply to incorporate, then approval from a county judge. Bastrop County hasn't received an application from Mr. Musk or any of his entities, a spokeswoman said.Chap Ambrose, a computer programmer who lives on a hilltop overlooking the new Boring and SpaceX facilities, said he believes \"they want it to be secret. They want to do things before anyone knows really what's happening.\"Mr. Ambrose has been seeking information from Boring and the county about the company's research and testing of its tunneling machines and how that might affect groundwater and wells in the area.He has sent drones over the area seeking clues to other structures Boring and SpaceX are building and what they plan to produce in their factories. Drone footage and YouTube videos he posted show the construction of tunnels between the Boring and SpaceX parcels that run beneath a public road.Messrs. Musk and Davis didn't respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Mr. Musk, Alex Spiro, and a top adviser who heads his family office, Jared Birchall, also didn't respond to requests for comment.Over the past three years, entities tied to Mr. Musk's companies or executives have purchased at least 3,500 acres in the Austin area, collectively about four times the size of New York's Central Park, according to county deeds and other land records. The Journal also obtained city and county emails through public-records requests, reviewed internal company communications and state licensing records, and interviewed land owners and city and county officials.Elon Musk addressed guests at the grand opening of Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas in April 2022. PHOTO: BOB DAEMMRICH/ZUMA PRESSSome local real-estate and land officials said they have been told by people close to Mr. Musk that the billionaire owns even more land in the area -- as much as 6,000 acres.When Mr. Musk left his longtime home of California more than two years ago, he said he had lost patience with rules and regulations in that state, where Tesla and Boring were then headquartered before moving to Texas. California is the land of \"overregulation, overlitigation, overtaxation,\" he said in December 2021.Texas has fewer zoning laws and environmental and labor requirements, and has vast swaths of loosely regulated land. Unlike California, it has no corporate income tax or income or capital-gains taxes on individuals.Last month, Tesla said it was continuing to expand in California, too, and named an office in Palo Alto as its engineering headquarters. Tesla's corporate headquarters remains in Texas.The Texas land purchases have taken place through at least four limited liability companies. Those companies are tied to Mr. Musk's businesses or their officers in county deed and land records and state business filings that list their names.The plans include a project to build a private residential compound for Mr. Musk that potentially would be some distance from the planned town, according to people familiar with the plans.Mr. Musk has been a chief driver of the plans, and the land purchases all have to be approved by him, said people familiar with the operation.In many of the purchases tracked by the Journal, sellers have been required to sign nondisclosure agreements, according to people who have signed them. Local economic-development officials said they were asked to sign such agreements when they were told Boring was coming to town.Construction at a SpaceX site in Bastrop County in February.During a spring 2020 visit to the condo of Steve Adler, then mayor of Austin, Mr. Musk sought assurances from him and an official in Travis County, where Austin is located, that government bureaucracy wouldn't stand in the way of his many projects, Mr. Adler said. \"What he wanted from the city was speed,\" said Mr. Adler, a Democrat who left office when his second term ended this January.Soon after, Mr. Musk began building the Tesla manufacturing facility known as Giga Texas -- more than 10 million square feet on roughly 2,500 acres in Travis County, outside Austin, according to land records and Tesla's website.In neighboring Bastrop County, about an hour southeast of Austin, SpaceX is building a 500,000-square-foot facility, and, across state road 1209, Boring is building a new warehouse.Last June, Robert Pugh, then Bastrop County's director of engineering, complained in an email to Clara Beckett, the county commissioner in charge of planning, that staffers had been \"regularly hounded\" by employees and contractors of Boring and Starlink, a SpaceX unit. They want the county to \"expedite and approve permit applications that are incomplete and not in compliance\" with the county's regulations, Mr. Pugh wrote.Mr. Pugh left his job that same month and didn't respond to requests for comment. Ms. Beckett didn't respond to requests for comment.The planned town would sit in Bastrop County. An entity called Gapped Bass LLC, of which state records show Boring's Mr. Davis serving as president, now owns more than 200 acres there, all purchased within the past two years. SpaceX has purchased about 60 more acres. The land was previously owned by longtime ranchers and other Texas families.As of last year, Boring employees could apply for a home with rents starting at about $800 a month for a two- or three-bedroom, according to an advertisement for employees viewed by the Journal and people familiar with the plans. If an employee leaves or is fired, he or she would have to vacate the house within 30 days, those people said.The median rent in Bastrop, Texas, is about $2,200 a month, according to real-estate listing company Zillow Group Inc.Executives have discussed opening the houses to all employees of Mr. Musk's companies.Gapped Bass has filed paperwork with Bastrop County to build 110 more homes in the planned town, which it calls \"Project Amazing.\"Bastrop County officials approved street names such as \"Boring Boulevard, \" \"Waterjet Way\" and \"Cutterhead Crossing,\" according to county meeting documents.Boring plans to convert a home on the property into a Montessori school for as many as 15 students, according to correspondence between a Boring company official and a county government employee.Adena Lewis, the county's director of tourism and economic development, said she isn't sure of Boring's time frame for the development, but the region sorely needs new housing. \"They're very respectful of us,\" she said. \"But they're in a hurry.\"Ms. Lewis said the county's small size made it attractive to Mr. Musk's companies. \"I think it's the ability to work with folks on a direct level, and not having tons of red tape,\" she said.Mr. Musk has long envisioned building a town, and a couple of years ago helped his brother, Kimbal Musk, refine an idea to build an off-the-grid community, according to people familiar with the plans. It couldn't be determined where that idea stands. When the Journal reached out to a spokeswoman for Kimbal Musk, describing the project, including a purported name, she said he wasn't aware of the project as described and didn't respond to further requests for clarification.Mr. Musk has been a proponent of affordable housing for employees. In 2018, during a public panel discussion with then-Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada, Mr. Musk talked about building housing for Tesla workers alongside the company's huge complex outside Reno.In 2021, Mr. Musk tweeted about creating “the city of Starbase, Texas,” in Boca Chica Village, where SpaceX has operations along the Gulf of Mexico. It isn’t clear whether the city has been incorporated. A spokeswoman for Cameron County, where Boca Chica Village is located, didn’t respond to requests for comment.Mr. Musk has explored building a private compound on some of the newly acquired land in Bastrop County, according to people familiar with his plans. For some of the past two years, he has stayed at a friend’s mansion in Austin, the Journal has reported.The status and location of the potential house couldn’t be determined. The people familiar with the plan say the town is a separate project.Some locals have sold land to Mr. Musk’s companies. Others who own land in Bastrop and Travis counties said they have gotten few answers from Mr. Musk’s companies about their plans, and have said they won’t sell.Some said they feel steamrolled by eager public officials who aren’t asking enough questions. “They’re just going as fast as they can,” said Mr. Ambrose, whose home overlooks the Boring site.In 2013, when Mr. Ambrose bought his 10 acres of hilltop land, there were only about a dozen residences within a mile. Since the spring of 2021, Boring has erected several warehouses and dug at least two test tunnels, and SpaceX is constructing the largest building in the county.“There’s no transparency,” said David Barrow, who runs Eden East Farm on Bastrop’s North Main Street, which supports his family’s two restaurants and a farmstand.David Barrow, who runs a farm in Bastrop, is worried the new projects could threaten water quality.Boring employees are among his regular customers, Mr. Barrow said, but he is worried the new projects could threaten the water quality of the Colorado River and the aquifers that supply the region’s wells.Recently, Boring applied to state environmental authorities to discharge up to 140,000 gallons of industrial wastewater a day into the river.“I would like to know what is actually being sprayed, what they’re actually building, and who is going to hold them accountable,” Mr. Barrow said, referring to plans to disperse some wastewater onto Boring land.Ms. Lewis, the director of tourism and economic development, said she had no concerns that the company’s development would harm the river and surrounding farmland.After being approached by some landowners, including Mr. Ambrose, Texas State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt requested a public environmental hearing set for this month.“We’re going to need to have more of a conversation and be able to verify the assertions that these companies are making with regard to the discharge permit into the Colorado River,” Ms. Eckhardt said.Instead of trying to force one of the world’s richest men out of town, Mr. Ambrose said, “we can make him be a good member of the community and be a good neighbor and follow the law. And that, to me, is worth the effort.”New Boring Co. buildings have risen near pasture land in Bastrop County.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":141,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949133568,"gmtCreate":1678417445455,"gmtModify":1678417448742,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949133568","repostId":"1125545329","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":50,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949133213,"gmtCreate":1678417435932,"gmtModify":1678417440042,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949133213","repostId":"2318144672","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2318144672","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1678405175,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2318144672?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-10 07:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"10 Banks That May Face Trouble in the Wake of the SVB Financial Group Debacle","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2318144672","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Silicon Valley Bank wasn't well positioned for rising interest rates, leading to losses and a diluti","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Silicon Valley Bank wasn&#39;t well positioned for rising interest rates, leading to losses and a dilutive capital raise.

The prospect of dilution to shareholders' ownership positions resulted in the company's shares sliding as much as 62% on March 9.The entire banking industry seemed to take it on the chin on March 9, with the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index  sinking 7.5%.See Tomi Kilgore's coverage for more details on SVB's offerings, the securities sale and reaction.Red margin flagsBefore SVB Financial decided to take such a dramatic step, the movement of its net interest margin was signaling that the bank wasn't well positioned for the combination of rising interest rates and slowing loan growth in the venture capital space.A bank's net interest margin is the spread between its average yield on loans and investments and its average cost for deposits and borrowings.  This is an annualized calculation. Here's how the NIM moved for SVB Financial over the past year:SVB's net interest margin narrowed considerably during the fourth quarter, and it widened only slightly from the year-earlier quarter.So now the question is which other banks might face pressure because their net interest margins have contracted, or because their margins have only expanded slighlty?Starting with a list of U.S. banks with total assets of at least $10 billion, and removing purer investment banks, such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS), we looked at 108 banks.A uniform set of net interest margins for the past five quarters isn't available from FactSet for the full group -- it is only available for 56 of the banks. So instead, we screened for net interest income (total interest income less total interest expense) divided by average total assets.By this screen, 102 of 108 banks showed expanding margins for the fourth quarter from a year earlier.Here are the 10 showing contracting margins over the past year, or the smallest expansions of margins:SVB Financial ranked 11th worst in the screen, with net interest income/average assets of 1.93% in the fourth quarter, up from 1.83% in the year-earlier quarter.Most margin improvementTo end on a positive note, these banks showed the widest expansion of margins, based on net interest income divided by average assets:","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":62,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949133669,"gmtCreate":1678417426951,"gmtModify":1678417430716,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949133669","repostId":"2318221244","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":74,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949308664,"gmtCreate":1678338997359,"gmtModify":1678339000995,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949308664","repostId":"2317611495","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2317611495","pubTimestamp":1678322104,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2317611495?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-09 08:35","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Is Apple a Safe Stock for 2023?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2317611495","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"This could be a big year for the iPhone maker.","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>KEY POINTS</h2><ul><li>Apple reported a year-over-year decline in revenue last quarter, driven by lower sales of the iPhone.</li><li>Services and iPad revenue grew, showing the value of the tech titan&#39;s diverse business.</li><li>Apple is expected to announce its first new product in nearly a decade.</li></ul><p>Shares of <b>Apple</b> delivered wealth-building returns for investors over the past decade.

After calling the bottom in my &#34;Stocks Are Heading Higher&#34; article, I indicated that the likely top for the rally would arrive in the 4,000-4,200. The market recently topped out around 4,200, after a textbook 20% bear market rally. Now, the SPX is at another critical inflection point, and despite a 6% correction from the recent high, the market could go significantly lower as we advance in the coming months. In addition to deteriorating technical conditions, inflation remains persistent.</p><p>Moreover, we&#39;re seeing worsening economic indicators, implying that the increased rate environment reflects poorly on the economy. Furthermore, due to the persistent inflation problem, the Fed will probably continue raising the benchmark rate, remaining relatively hawkish. Consumer sentiment and other crucial consumer-related readings will likely worsen along with the labor market leading to more pain on Main Street. As corporate profits worsen in the near term, the stock market will probably head lower, causing some panic on Wall Street in the coming months.</p><p>SPX - At Another Inflection Point<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79e4c150b976cb211ccb6f5f67170f37\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SPX(StockCharts.com)</p><p>The SPX is around critical support at 3,940 - 4,000, coinciding with the 50, and the 200-day moving averages. If the SPX decisively breaks down below this crucial support level, the market could swiftly drop to 3,800 support. If the 3,800 support breaks down, the market will likely retest 3,500 and move lower toward my long-term bear market bottom level at 3,000-3,200. This drop would equate to approximately 20-25% more downside from current levels. Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating fundamental factors surrounding the economy, there&#39;s a high probability that the SPX will revisit the 3,500 - 3,000 before achieving a true bottom. The peak-to-trough decline (4,800 to 3,000) would equate to a drop of approximately 38%, easily comparable to previous bear markets in recent history.</p><p><b>There&#39;s a Chance</b></p><p>Although the probability is relatively low, SPX&#39;s support could hold here, and we may see the market rebound and move higher. However, due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, the near-term upside is likely limited, and the path of least resistance is to the downside now. Also, it&#39;s premature to call an end to the bear market, and I am highly skeptical that a new bull market began in October and that the SPX will reach new highs soon.</p><p>Why Inflation Remains a Big Problem</p><p><b>CPI Inflation</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10057ace35cbf6a1921aa9cae02f6d0b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>CPI(TradingEconomics.com )</p><p>Inflation peaked at around 9% last year, and the Fed has raised rates significantly, utilizing other programs like QT to bring the inflation problem under control. There&#39;s been some success as inflation has come down from the ultra-high levels not seen in the last forty years. Nevertheless, inflation is still running red hot above 6%, while the Fed&#39;s target rate remains at 2%. Moreover, after several months of constructive inflation readings, January&#39;s CPI came in hotter than expected.</p><p><b>The Recent CPI Report</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f7c22ef79685f6f2789bc39233660b5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"156\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>CPI (January)(Investing.com )</p><p>The market expected a drop to 6.2%, but the CPI came in at 6.4%, missing estimates and barely budging from the prior month&#39;s reading of 6.5%. Moreover, it&#39;s not just the CPI. Other critical inflation readings like the PCE also reversed, coming in hotter than anticipated.</p><p><b>PCE Inflation</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/100421b03f101dd14bf7039f266d679c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"186\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>PCE inflation(Investing.com )</p><p>The PCE inflation readings were substantially higher than expected. We see the PCE at 5.4% vs. the expected 5%. Moreover, the PCE was even higher than the previous month&#39;s 5.3% reading. So, inflation is moving in the wrong direction, and this trend of persistently higher-than-expected inflation could continue. Furthermore, the PCE reading is critical as it&#39;s the Fed&#39;s preferred inflation gauge. Therefore, we will likely continue seeing tighter monetary for longer, which is a negative development for stocks and other risk assets.</p><p><b>Is the Fed Doing Too Much or Not Enough?</b></p><p>Unfortunately, the Fed is between a rock and a hard place. Remember all that talk about inflation being a transitory phenomenon and everything should be fine? I remember this specific rhetoric as the Fed printed money like there was no tomorrow. I always expressed that inflation would not be as &#34;transitory&#34; as the Fed claimed and that the economy would suffer significantly. Well, here we are. The Fed is battling highly persistent inflation, anything but transitory, and the economy is worsening considerably.</p><p><b>The Worsening Economy</b></p><p>Have you seen the recent economic readings? I see many problems, and they&#39;re not likely to go away anytime soon. Let&#39;s put inflation aside and look at some troubling critical economic data that&#39;s come out recently.</p><p>Just from the start of February, we&#39;ve seenISM manufacturing PMI, factory orders, consumer expectations, industrial production, building, housing, GDP, consumer confidence, oil inventories, and other crucial data points come in worse than expected. Moreover, the worse-than-expected data is coming in below lowered estimates, and even most of the better-than-anticipated data does not look great.</p><p><b>Is the Labor Market an Exception?</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ada4e0ca1e2a60decab85dee6c4f940a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"209\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Jobs data(Investing.com)</p><p>The latest nonfarm payrolls report came in significantly better than expected. The economy added 517K jobs while expectations were for 185K. The unemployment rate also dropped to a rock bottom of 3.4%. So, how can the economy worsen while the labor market remains this robust? First, the labor market data is a lagging indicator, not indicative of future results. Secondly, the labor market appeared very strong in other cycles just before the worst part of a downturn began. And thirdly, the labor market may be one of the last dominoes standing, and when it falls, it could drag the stock market substantially lower. We&#39;ve recently seen numerous companies reporting mass layoffs. These firings take time to filter through the system and should impact payroll reports negatively in the coming months. Moreover, not all jobs are the same. As major corporations cut hundreds of thousands of relatively high-paying jobs to improve efficiency and increase profitability, those fortunate enough to find new jobs will likely fill lower-paying positions. As this phenomenon persists, millions of consumers could suffer due to being pinched from multiple sides by high inflation and lower wages.</p><p><b>Valuations Are Not Cheap Anymore</b></p><p>We&#39;ve seen many companies&#39; earnings stagnate or decline in recent quarters. As the consumer continues to soften, lower earnings could continue as we advance in the near/intermediate term. Also, we&#39;ve seen many stocks appreciate considerably in the recent rally. Thus, while many valuations appeared cheap and attractive, with the SPX around 3,500, many companies are not cheap anymore and could become even more expensive as earnings and future estimates stumble in the coming months.</p><p><b>Shiller P/E Ratio</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5c0cae380760ab0af564889c1e421d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Shiller P/E(multpl.com)</p><p>We&#39;ve seen the Shiller P/E (cyclically adjusted &#34;CAPE&#34;) ratio come down some from the bubble days of November 2021. However, at around 29, the CAPE is still highly elevated, implying that most stocks are not cheap and likely have more room to fall as we grind through this bear market. The historical mean for the CAPE is 17, roughly 40% below its current level. If the CAPE reverts to its mean in this bear market, we could see the SPX bottom around 2,400. However, this ultra-bearish 50% peak-to-trough decline scenario is not a high-probability event due to the Fed and other factors. Nevertheless, the CAPE should move lower before going higher again, and my estimate for a bottom is around the 22-23 level, roughly in line with the 3,000-3,200 level in the SPX.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p>We&#39;ve seen a textbook 20% bear market rally lift stocks from the profoundly oversold 3,500 level in the SPX. Many stocks have appreciated considerably, some by 100% or more in this relatively short time frame. However, the rally ended around 4,200 due to the lack of constructive catalysts capable of propelling stocks into a new bull market. Moreover, we see persistently high inflation, and the recent progress is overshadowed by the higher-than-anticipated inflation results last month. Therefore, the Fed will likely continue raising interest rates and could remain hawkish for longer as the inflation problem persists.</p><p>Moreover, critical economic indicators and many corporate profits continue worsening, implying more pain ahead for Main Street and Wall Street. Furthermore, most stocks are not cheap here. Thus, many could drop precipitously if the selling accelerates. If SPX breaks below support (decisively) around 4,000, it could cascade to 3,800 next and 3,500 or lower afterward. My bear market bottom &#34;all-in&#34; buy-in range remains around 3,000-3,200, roughly 20-25% below current levels.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha_fund","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Why The Market Could Drop By Another 20%-25%</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nWhy The Market Could Drop By Another 20%-25%\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-03-04 10:16 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4584309-why-the-market-could-drop-more><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>SummaryWe've seen one heck of a rally since the market reached an intermediate-term bottom in mid October.Incidentally, a textbook 20% bear market rally took the S&P 500 from 3,500 to 4,200 in about ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4584309-why-the-market-could-drop-more\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".SPX":"S&P 500 Index",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4584309-why-the-market-could-drop-more","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1188147335","content_text":"SummaryWe've seen one heck of a rally since the market reached an intermediate-term bottom in mid October.Incidentally, a textbook 20% bear market rally took the S&P 500 from 3,500 to 4,200 in about three months.However, I'm highly skeptical that the worst is behind us.Unfortunately, inflation remains more persistent than anticipated, the Fed should continue tightening, and the economy will likely worsen as we advance.Furthermore, stocks are not cheap, and my \"all-in\" bear market bottom target remains 3,000-3,200, roughly 20%-25% lower from here.The S&P 500/SPX (SP500) had an excellent rally from its mid-October bottom at 3,500. After calling the bottom in my \"Stocks Are Heading Higher\" article, I indicated that the likely top for the rally would arrive in the 4,000-4,200. The market recently topped out around 4,200, after a textbook 20% bear market rally. Now, the SPX is at another critical inflection point, and despite a 6% correction from the recent high, the market could go significantly lower as we advance in the coming months. In addition to deteriorating technical conditions, inflation remains persistent.Moreover, we're seeing worsening economic indicators, implying that the increased rate environment reflects poorly on the economy. Furthermore, due to the persistent inflation problem, the Fed will probably continue raising the benchmark rate, remaining relatively hawkish. Consumer sentiment and other crucial consumer-related readings will likely worsen along with the labor market leading to more pain on Main Street. As corporate profits worsen in the near term, the stock market will probably head lower, causing some panic on Wall Street in the coming months.SPX - At Another Inflection PointSPX(StockCharts.com)The SPX is around critical support at 3,940 - 4,000, coinciding with the 50, and the 200-day moving averages. If the SPX decisively breaks down below this crucial support level, the market could swiftly drop to 3,800 support. If the 3,800 support breaks down, the market will likely retest 3,500 and move lower toward my long-term bear market bottom level at 3,000-3,200. This drop would equate to approximately 20-25% more downside from current levels. Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating fundamental factors surrounding the economy, there's a high probability that the SPX will revisit the 3,500 - 3,000 before achieving a true bottom. The peak-to-trough decline (4,800 to 3,000) would equate to a drop of approximately 38%, easily comparable to previous bear markets in recent history.There's a ChanceAlthough the probability is relatively low, SPX's support could hold here, and we may see the market rebound and move higher. However, due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, the near-term upside is likely limited, and the path of least resistance is to the downside now. Also, it's premature to call an end to the bear market, and I am highly skeptical that a new bull market began in October and that the SPX will reach new highs soon.Why Inflation Remains a Big ProblemCPI InflationCPI(TradingEconomics.com )Inflation peaked at around 9% last year, and the Fed has raised rates significantly, utilizing other programs like QT to bring the inflation problem under control. There's been some success as inflation has come down from the ultra-high levels not seen in the last forty years. Nevertheless, inflation is still running red hot above 6%, while the Fed's target rate remains at 2%. Moreover, after several months of constructive inflation readings, January's CPI came in hotter than expected.The Recent CPI ReportCPI (January)(Investing.com )The market expected a drop to 6.2%, but the CPI came in at 6.4%, missing estimates and barely budging from the prior month's reading of 6.5%. Moreover, it's not just the CPI. Other critical inflation readings like the PCE also reversed, coming in hotter than anticipated.PCE InflationPCE inflation(Investing.com )The PCE inflation readings were substantially higher than expected. We see the PCE at 5.4% vs. the expected 5%. Moreover, the PCE was even higher than the previous month's 5.3% reading. So, inflation is moving in the wrong direction, and this trend of persistently higher-than-expected inflation could continue. Furthermore, the PCE reading is critical as it's the Fed's preferred inflation gauge. Therefore, we will likely continue seeing tighter monetary for longer, which is a negative development for stocks and other risk assets.Is the Fed Doing Too Much or Not Enough?Unfortunately, the Fed is between a rock and a hard place. Remember all that talk about inflation being a transitory phenomenon and everything should be fine? I remember this specific rhetoric as the Fed printed money like there was no tomorrow. I always expressed that inflation would not be as \"transitory\" as the Fed claimed and that the economy would suffer significantly. Well, here we are. The Fed is battling highly persistent inflation, anything but transitory, and the economy is worsening considerably.The Worsening EconomyHave you seen the recent economic readings? I see many problems, and they're not likely to go away anytime soon. Let's put inflation aside and look at some troubling critical economic data that's come out recently.Just from the start of February, we've seenISM manufacturing PMI, factory orders, consumer expectations, industrial production, building, housing, GDP, consumer confidence, oil inventories, and other crucial data points come in worse than expected. Moreover, the worse-than-expected data is coming in below lowered estimates, and even most of the better-than-anticipated data does not look great.Is the Labor Market an Exception?Jobs data(Investing.com)The latest nonfarm payrolls report came in significantly better than expected. The economy added 517K jobs while expectations were for 185K. The unemployment rate also dropped to a rock bottom of 3.4%. So, how can the economy worsen while the labor market remains this robust? First, the labor market data is a lagging indicator, not indicative of future results. Secondly, the labor market appeared very strong in other cycles just before the worst part of a downturn began. And thirdly, the labor market may be one of the last dominoes standing, and when it falls, it could drag the stock market substantially lower. We've recently seen numerous companies reporting mass layoffs. These firings take time to filter through the system and should impact payroll reports negatively in the coming months. Moreover, not all jobs are the same. As major corporations cut hundreds of thousands of relatively high-paying jobs to improve efficiency and increase profitability, those fortunate enough to find new jobs will likely fill lower-paying positions. As this phenomenon persists, millions of consumers could suffer due to being pinched from multiple sides by high inflation and lower wages.Valuations Are Not Cheap AnymoreWe've seen many companies' earnings stagnate or decline in recent quarters. As the consumer continues to soften, lower earnings could continue as we advance in the near/intermediate term. Also, we've seen many stocks appreciate considerably in the recent rally. Thus, while many valuations appeared cheap and attractive, with the SPX around 3,500, many companies are not cheap anymore and could become even more expensive as earnings and future estimates stumble in the coming months.Shiller P/E RatioShiller P/E(multpl.com)We've seen the Shiller P/E (cyclically adjusted \"CAPE\") ratio come down some from the bubble days of November 2021. However, at around 29, the CAPE is still highly elevated, implying that most stocks are not cheap and likely have more room to fall as we grind through this bear market. The historical mean for the CAPE is 17, roughly 40% below its current level. If the CAPE reverts to its mean in this bear market, we could see the SPX bottom around 2,400. However, this ultra-bearish 50% peak-to-trough decline scenario is not a high-probability event due to the Fed and other factors. Nevertheless, the CAPE should move lower before going higher again, and my estimate for a bottom is around the 22-23 level, roughly in line with the 3,000-3,200 level in the SPX.The Bottom LineWe've seen a textbook 20% bear market rally lift stocks from the profoundly oversold 3,500 level in the SPX. Many stocks have appreciated considerably, some by 100% or more in this relatively short time frame. However, the rally ended around 4,200 due to the lack of constructive catalysts capable of propelling stocks into a new bull market. Moreover, we see persistently high inflation, and the recent progress is overshadowed by the higher-than-anticipated inflation results last month. Therefore, the Fed will likely continue raising interest rates and could remain hawkish for longer as the inflation problem persists.Moreover, critical economic indicators and many corporate profits continue worsening, implying more pain ahead for Main Street and Wall Street. Furthermore, most stocks are not cheap here. Thus, many could drop precipitously if the selling accelerates. If SPX breaks below support (decisively) around 4,000, it could cascade to 3,800 next and 3,500 or lower afterward. My bear market bottom \"all-in\" buy-in range remains around 3,000-3,200, roughly 20-25% below current levels.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":180,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":9957244343,"gmtCreate":1677335290983,"gmtModify":1677335304938,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile] [Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":22,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9957244343","repostId":"1117520516","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1117520516","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1677334099,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1117520516?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-02-25 22:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Buffett’s Annual Letter: Berkshire Will Always Hold a Boatload of Cash and U.S. Treasury Bills","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1117520516","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Warren Buffett is still betting on America.Stocks and bonds slumped in 2022 after central banks rais","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Warren Buffett is still betting on America.</p><p>Stocks and bonds slumped in 2022 after central banks raised interest rates at a rapid pace to try to rein in inflation. But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.</p><p>“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.</p><p>Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.</p><p>The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.</p><p>As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.</p><p>“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.</p><p>The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.</p><p>Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.</p><p>Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.</p><p>“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.</p><h2>Read the full letter here:</h2><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.</p><p>A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.</p><p>Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.</p><p>The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.</p><p>Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?</p><h2>What We Do</h2><p>Charlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.</p><p>In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.</p><p>Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”</p><p>One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.</p><p>Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)</p><p>Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.</p><h2>The Secret Sauce</h2><p>In August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.</p><p>The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.</p><p>American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.</p><p>These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.</p><p>Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.</p><p>The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.</p><h2>The Past Year in Brief</h2><p>Berkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69e74650656620f9fa3f1e55c15a90e5\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.</p><p>A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.</p><p>Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.</p><p>The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.</p><p>Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?</p><p>When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).</p><p>Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.</p><p>And that is a promise we can make.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.</p><p>That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.</p><h2>58 Years – and a Few Figures</h2><p>In 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.</p><p>And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.</p><p>Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.</p><p>Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&amp;P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.</p><p>In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.</p><p>At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.</p><p>In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and</p><p>$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.</p><p>As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses. Our CEO will always be the Chief Risk Officer – a task it is irresponsible to delegate. Additionally, our future CEOs will have a significant part of their net worth in Berkshire shares, bought with their own money. And yes, our shareholders will continue to save and prosper by retaining earnings.</p><p>At Berkshire, there will be no finish line.</p><h2>Some Surprising Facts About Federal Taxes</h2><p>During the decade ending in 2021, the United States Treasury received about $32.3 trillion in taxes while it spent $43.9 trillion.</p><p>Though economists, politicians and many of the public have opinions about the consequences of that huge imbalance, Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless. Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur. Berkshire also offers some modest protection from runaway inflation, but this attribute is far from perfect. Huge and entrenched fiscal deficits have consequences.</p><p>The $32 trillion of revenue was garnered by the Treasury through individual income taxes (48%), social security and related receipts (3412%), corporate income tax payments (812%) and a wide variety of lesser levies. Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected.</p><p>And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend. Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:</p><p>- If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest.</p><p>- Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting! – and the stack reaches about 34 of a mile into the sky.</p><p>- Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion, the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments. Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height, about three times the level at which commercial airplanes usually cruise.</p><p>When it comes to federal taxes, individuals who own Berkshire can unequivocally state “I gave at the office.”</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. We count on the American Tailwind and, though it has been becalmed from time to time, its propelling force has always returned.</p><p>I have been investing for 80 years – more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant – almost enthusiasm – for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.</p><h2>Nothing Beats Having a Great Partner</h2><p>Charlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.</p><p>Here are a few of his thoughts, many lifted from a very recent podcast:</p><p>- The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.</p><p>- If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.</p><p>- All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there. And a related thought: Early on, write your desired obituary – and then behave accordingly.</p><p>- If you don’t care whether you are rational or not, you won’t work on it. Then you will stay irrational and get lousy results.</p><p>- Patience can be learned. Having a long attention span and the ability to concentrate on one thing for a long time is a huge advantage.</p><p>- You can learn a lot from dead people. Read of the deceased you admire and detest.</p><p>- Don’t bail away in a sinking boat if you can swim to one that is seaworthy.</p><p>- A great company keeps working after you are not; a mediocre company won’t do that.</p><p>- Warren and I don’t focus on the froth of the market. We seek out good long-term investments and stubbornly hold them for a long time.</p><p>- Ben Graham said, “Day to day, the stock market is a voting machine; in the long term it’s a weighing machine.” If you keep making something more valuable, then some wise person is going to notice it and start buying.</p><p>- There is no such thing as a 100% sure thing when investing. Thus, the use of leverage is dangerous. A string of wonderful numbers times zero will always equal zero. Don’t count on getting rich twice.</p><p>- You don’t, however, need to own a lot of things in order to get rich.</p><p>- You have to keep learning if you want to become a great investor. When the world changes, you must change.</p><p>- Warren and I hated railroad stocks for decades, but the world changed and finally the country had four huge railroads of vital importance to the American economy. We were slow to recognize the change, but better late than never.</p><p>- Finally, I will add two short sentences by Charlie that have been his decision-clinchers for decades: “Warren, think more about it. You’re smart and I’m right.”</p><p>And so it goes. I never have a phone call with Charlie without learning something. And, while he makes me think, he also makes me laugh.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>I will add to Charlie’s list a rule of my own:   Find   a   very   smart   high-grade partner – preferably slightly older than you – and then listen very carefully to what he says.</p><h2>A Family Gathering in Omaha</h2><p>Charlie and I are shameless. Last year, at our first shareholder get-together in three years, we greeted you with our usual commercial hustle.</p><p>From the opening bell, we went straight for your wallet. In short order, our See’s kiosk sold you eleven tons of nourishing peanut brittle and chocolates. In our P.T. Barnum pitch, we promised you longevity. After all, what else but candy from See’s could account for Charlie and me making it to 99 and 92?</p><p>I know you can’t wait to hear the specifics of last year’s hustle.</p><p>On Friday, the doors were open from noon until 5 p.m., and our candy counters rang up 2,690 individual sales. On Saturday, See’s registered an additional 3,931 transactions between 7 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., despite the fact that 612 of the 912 operating hours occurred while our movie and the question-and-answer session were limiting commercial traffic.</p><p>Do the math: See’s rang up about 10 sales per minute during its prime operating time (racking up $400,309 of volume during the two days), with all the goods purchased at a single location selling products that haven’t been materially altered in 101 years. What worked for See’s in the days of Henry Ford’s model T works now.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Charlie, I, and the entire Berkshire bunch look forward to seeing you in Omaha on May 5-6. We will have a good time and so will you.</p><p>February 25, 2023 Warren E.

But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.</p><p>“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.</p><p>Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.</p><p>The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.</p><p>As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.</p><p>“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.</p><p>Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.</p><p>The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.</p><p>Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.</p><p>Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.</p><p>Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.</p><p>“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.</p><h2>Read the full letter here:</h2><p>To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:</p><p>Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.</p><p>A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.</p><p>Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.</p><p>The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.</p><p>Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?</p><h2>What We Do</h2><p>Charlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.</p><p>In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.</p><p>Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.</p><p>Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”</p><p>One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.</p><p>Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)</p><p>Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.</p><h2>The Secret Sauce</h2><p>In August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.</p><p>The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.</p><p>American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.</p><p>These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.</p><p>Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.</p><p>The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.</p><h2>The Past Year in Brief</h2><p>Berkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/69e74650656620f9fa3f1e55c15a90e5\" tg-width=\"797\" tg-height=\"207\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.</p><p>A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.</p><p>Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.</p><p>The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.</p><p>Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?</p><p>When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).</p><p>Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.</p><p>And that is a promise we can make.</p><p>* * * * * * * * * * * *</p><p>Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.</p><p>That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.</p><h2>58 Years – and a Few Figures</h2><p>In 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.</p><p>And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.</p><p>Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.</p><p>Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&amp;P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.</p><p>In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.</p><p>At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.</p><p>In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and</p><p>$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.</p><p>As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses.

But Mr. Buffett retained his sense of optimism in his annual letter to investors Saturday, saying he attributes much of his success over the years to the resilience of the U.S. economy.“I have been investing for 80 years—more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant—almost enthusiasm—for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America,” Mr. Buffett said in the letter.Mr. Buffett, widely regarded as one of the world’s top investors, has been publishing the letters for more than half a century. Over that time, he hasn’t just reflected on the past year for his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., but also shared his thoughts on everything from esoteric accounting rules to his aversion to excessive risk-taking.Saturday’s letter offered readers a glimpse into how Mr. Buffett, 92, viewed what wound up being a shaky stretch for markets.The volatility offered Berkshire an opportunity to jump in and buy stocks. While Berkshire largely bought back its own shares in 2021, it focused more in 2022 on investing in other companies—opening up new positions in media company Paramount Global and building-materials manufacturer Louisiana-Pacific Corp., among other businesses, and swiftly becoming Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s single biggest shareholder.As of the end of 2022, Berkshire was the largest shareholder of eight companies—American Express Co., Bank of America Corp., Chevron Corp., Coca-Cola Co., HP Inc., Moody’s Corp., Occidental and Paramount Global.“America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true,” Mr. Buffett said.Berkshire also released its results for 2022 on Saturday.The Omaha, Neb., company, which owns businesses including insurer Geico, railroad BNSF Railway and chocolate maker See’s Candies, posted a loss of $22.82 billion for the year, stung by $67.9 billion in investment and derivative contract losses. In 2021, Berkshire posted a profit of $90.8 billion.Total revenue rose 9.4% to $302.1 billion.Berkshire’s operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, rose to a record $30.8 billion.Mr. Buffett, Berkshire’s chief executive, has long held that operating earnings are a better reflection of how Berkshire is doing, since accounting rules require the company to include unrealized gains and losses from its massive investment portfolio in its net income. Volatile markets can make Berkshire’s net income change substantially from quarter to quarter, regardless of how its underlying businesses are doing.“Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades,” Mr. Buffett said in his letter. “But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors,” he said, adding that he and his right-hand man Charlie Munger urged shareholders to focus instead on Berkshire’s operating earnings, which rose to a record for the full year in 2022.Read the full letter here:To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing the savings of a great number of individuals. We are grateful for their enduring trust, a relationship that often spans much of their adult lifetime. It is those dedicated savers that are forefront in my mind as I write this letter.A common belief is that people choose to save when young, expecting thereby to maintain their living standards after retirement. Any assets that remain at death, this theory says, will usually be left to their families or, possibly, to friends and philanthropy.Our experience has differed. We believe Berkshire’s individual holders largely to be of the once-a-saver, always-a-saver variety. Though these people live well, they eventually dispense most of their funds to philanthropic organizations. These, in turn, redistribute the funds by expenditures intended to improve the lives of a great many people who are unrelated to the original benefactor. Sometimes, the results have been spectacular.The disposition of money unmasks humans. Charlie and I watch with pleasure the vast flow of Berkshire-generated funds to public needs and, alongside, the infrequency with which our shareholders opt for look-at-me assets and dynasty-building.Who wouldn’t enjoy working for shareholders like ours?What We DoCharlie and I allocate your savings at Berkshire between two related forms of ownership. First, we invest in businesses that we control, usually buying 100% of each. Berkshire directs capital allocation at these subsidiaries and selects the CEOs who make day-by-day operating decisions. When large enterprises are being managed, both trust and rules are essential. Berkshire emphasizes the former to an unusual – some would say extreme – degree. Disappointments are inevitable. We are understanding about business mistakes; our tolerance for personal misconduct is zero.In our second category of ownership, we buy publicly-traded stocks through which we passively own pieces of businesses. Holding these investments, we have no say in management.Our goal in both forms of ownership is to make meaningful investments in businesses with both long-lasting favorable economic characteristics and trustworthy managers. Please note particularly that we own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business-pickers.Over the years, I have made many mistakes. Consequently, our extensive collection of businesses currently consists of a few enterprises that have truly extraordinary economics, many that enjoy very good economic characteristics, and a large group that are marginal. Along the way, other businesses in which I have invested have died, their products unwanted by the public. Capitalism has two sides: The system creates an ever-growing pile of losers while concurrently delivering a gusher of improved goods and services. Schumpeter called this phenomenon “creative destruction.”One advantage of our publicly-traded segment is that – episodically – it becomes easy to buy pieces of wonderful businesses at wonderful prices. It’s crucial to understand that stocks often trade at truly foolish prices, both high and low. “Efficient” markets exist only in textbooks. In truth, marketable stocks and bonds are baffling, their behavior usually understandable only in retrospect.Controlled businesses are a different breed. They sometimes command ridiculously higher prices than justified but are almost never available at bargain valuations. Unless under duress, the owner of a controlled business gives no thought to selling at a panic-type valuation.* * * * * * * * * * * *At this point, a report card from me is appropriate: In 58 years of Berkshire management, most of my capital-allocation decisions have been no better than so-so. In some cases, also, bad moves by me have been rescued by very large doses of luck. (Remember our escapes from near-disasters at USAir and Salomon? I certainly do.)Our satisfactory results have been the product of about a dozen truly good decisions – that would be about one every five years – and a sometimes-forgotten advantage that favors long-term investors such as Berkshire. Let’s take a peek behind the curtain.The Secret SauceIn August 1994 – yes, 1994 – Berkshire completed its seven-year purchase of the 400 million shares of Coca-Cola we now own. The total cost was $1.3 billion – then a very meaningful sum at Berkshire.The cash dividend we received from Coke in 1994 was $75 million. By 2022, the dividend had increased to $704 million. Growth occurred every year, just as certain as birthdays. All Charlie and I were required to do was cash Coke’s quarterly dividend checks. We expect that those checks are highly likely to grow.American Express is much the same story. Berkshire’s purchases of Amex were essentially completed in 1995 and, coincidentally, also cost $1.3 billion. Annual dividends received from this investment have grown from $41 million to $302 million. Those checks, too, seem highly likely to increase.These dividend gains, though pleasing, are far from spectacular. But they bring with them important gains in stock prices. At yearend, our Coke investment was valued at $25 billion while Amex was recorded at $22 billion. Each holding now accounts for roughly 5% of Berkshire’s net worth, akin to its weighting long ago.Assume, for a moment, I had made a similarly-sized investment mistake in the 1990s, one that flat-lined and simply retained its $1.3 billion value in 2022. (An example would be a high-grade 30-year bond.) That disappointing investment would now represent an insignificant 0.3% of Berkshire’s net worth and would be delivering to us an unchanged $80 million or so of annual income.The lesson for investors: The weeds wither away in significance as the flowers bloom. Over time, it takes just a few winners to work wonders. And, yes, it helps to start early and live into your 90s as well.The Past Year in BriefBerkshire had a good year in 2022. The company’s operating earnings – our term for income calculated using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), exclusive of capital gains or losses from equity holdings – set a record at $30.8 billion. Charlie and I focus on this operational figure and urge you to do so as well. The GAAP figure, absent our adjustment, fluctuates wildly and capriciously at every reporting date. Note its acrobatic behavior in 2022, which is in no way unusual:The GAAP earnings are 100% misleading when viewed quarterly or even annually. Capital gains, to be sure, have been hugely important to Berkshire over past decades, and we expect them to be meaningfully positive in future decades. But their quarter-by-quarter gyrations, regularly and mindlessly headlined by media, totally misinform investors.A second positive development for Berkshire last year was our purchase of Alleghany Corporation, a property-casualty insurer captained by Joe Brandon. I’ve worked with Joe in the past, and he understands both Berkshire  and insurance. Alleghany delivers special value to us because Berkshire’s unmatched financial strength allows its insurance subsidiaries to follow valuable and enduring investment strategies unavailable to virtually all competitors.Aided by Alleghany, our insurance float increased during 2022 from $147 billion to $164 billion. With disciplined underwriting, these funds have a decent chance of being cost-free over time. Since purchasing our first property-casualty insurer in 1967, Berkshire’s float has increased 8,000-fold through acquisitions, operations and innovations. Though not recognized in our financial statements, this float has been an extraordinary asset for Berkshire. New shareholders can get an understanding of its value by reading our annually updated explanation of float on page A-2.* * * * * * * * * * * *A very minor gain in per-share intrinsic value took place in 2022 through Berkshire share repurchases as well as similar moves at Apple and American Express, both significant investees of ours. At Berkshire, we directly increased your interest in our unique collection of businesses by repurchasing 1.2% of the company’s outstanding shares. At Apple and Amex, repurchases increased Berkshire’s ownership a bit without any cost to us.The math isn’t complicated: When the share count goes down, your interest in our many businesses goes up. Every small bit helps if repurchases are made at value-accretive prices. Just as surely, when a company overpays for repurchases, the continuing shareholders lose. At such times, gains flow only to the selling shareholders and to the friendly, but expensive, investment banker who recommended the foolish purchases.Gains from value-accretive repurchases, it should be emphasized, benefit all owners – in every respect. Imagine, if you will, three fully-informed shareholders of a local auto dealership, one of whom manages the business. Imagine, further, that one of the passive owners wishes to sell his interest back to the company at a price attractive to the two continuing shareholders. When completed, has this transaction harmed anyone? Is the manager somehow favored over the continuing passive owners? Has the public been hurt?When you are told that all repurchases are harmful to shareholders or to the country, or particularly beneficial to CEOs, you are listening to either an economic illiterate or a silver-tongued demagogue (characters that are not mutually exclusive).Almost endless details of Berkshire’s 2022 operations are laid out on pages K-33 – K-66. Charlie and I, along with many Berkshire shareholders, enjoy poring over the many facts and figures laid out in that section. These pages are not, however, required reading. There are many Berkshire centimillionaires and, yes, billionaires who have never studied our financial figures. They simply know that Charlie and I – along with our families and close friends – continue to have very significant investments in Berkshire, and they trust us to treat their money as we do our own.And that is a promise we can make.* * * * * * * * * * * *Finally, an important warning: Even the operating earnings figure that we favor can easily be manipulated by managers who wish to do so. Such tampering is often thought of as sophisticated by CEOs, directors and their advisors. Reporters and analysts embrace its existence as well. Beating “expectations” is heralded as a managerial triumph.That activity is disgusting. It requires no talent to manipulate numbers: Only a deep desire to deceive is required. “Bold imaginative accounting,” as a CEO once described his deception to me, has become one of the shames of capitalism.58 Years – and a Few FiguresIn 1965, Berkshire was a one-trick pony, the owner of a venerable – but doomed – New England textile operation. With that business on a death march, Berkshire needed an immediate fresh start. Looking back, I was slow to recognize the severity of its problems.And then came a stroke of good luck: National Indemnity became available in 1967, and we shifted our resources toward insurance and other non-textile operations.Thus began our journey to 2023, a bumpy road involving a combination of continuous savings by our owners (that is, by their retaining earnings), the power of compounding, our avoidance of major mistakes and – most important of all – the American Tailwind. America would have done fine without Berkshire. The reverse is not true.Berkshire now enjoys major ownership in an unmatched collection of huge and diversified businesses. Let’s first look at the 5,000 or so publicly-held companies that trade daily on NASDAQ, the NYSE and related venues. Within this group is housed the members of the S&P 500 Index, an elite collection of large and well-known American companies.In aggregate, the 500 earned $1.8 trillion in 2021. I don’t yet have the final results for 2022. Using, therefore, the 2021 figures, only 128 of the 500 (including Berkshire itself) earned $3 billion or more. Indeed, 23 lost money.At yearend 2022, Berkshire was the largest owner of eight of these giants: American Express, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, HP Inc., Moody’s, Occidental Petroleum and Paramount Global.In addition to those eight investees, Berkshire owns 100% of BNSF and 92% of BH Energy, each with earnings that exceed the $3 billion mark noted above ($5.9 billion at BNSF and$4.3 billion at BHE). Were these companies publicly-owned, they would replace two present members of the 500. All told, our ten controlled and non-controlled behemoths leave Berkshire more broadly aligned with the country’s economic future than is the case at any other U.S. company. (This calculation leaves aside “fiduciary” operations such as pension funds and investment companies.) In addition, Berkshire’s insurance operation, though conducted through many individually-managed subsidiaries, has a value comparable to BNSF or BHE.As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses. We will also avoid behavior that could result in any uncomfortable cash needs at inconvenient times, including financial panics and unprecedented insurance losses. Our CEO will always be the Chief Risk Officer – a task it is irresponsible to delegate. Additionally, our future CEOs will have a significant part of their net worth in Berkshire shares, bought with their own money. And yes, our shareholders will continue to save and prosper by retaining earnings.At Berkshire, there will be no finish line.Some Surprising Facts About Federal TaxesDuring the decade ending in 2021, the United States Treasury received about $32.3 trillion in taxes while it spent $43.9 trillion.Though economists, politicians and many of the public have opinions about the consequences of that huge imbalance, Charlie and I plead ignorance and firmly believe that near-term economic and market forecasts are worse than useless. Our job is to manage Berkshire’s operations and finances in a manner that will achieve an acceptable result over time and that will preserve the company’s unmatched staying power when financial panics or severe worldwide recessions occur. Berkshire also offers some modest protection from runaway inflation, but this attribute is far from perfect. Huge and entrenched fiscal deficits have consequences.The $32 trillion of revenue was garnered by the Treasury through individual income taxes (48%), social security and related receipts (3412%), corporate income tax payments (812%) and a wide variety of lesser levies. Berkshire’s contribution via the corporate income tax was $32 billion during the decade, almost exactly a tenth of 1% of all money that the Treasury collected.And that means – brace yourself – had there been roughly 1,000 taxpayers in the U.S. matching Berkshire’s payments, no other businesses nor any of the country’s 131 million households would have needed to pay any taxes to the federal government. Not a dime.* * * * * * * * * * * *Millions, billions, trillions – we all know the words, but the sums involved are almost impossible to comprehend. Let’s put physical dimensions to the numbers:- If you convert $1 million into newly-printed $100 bills, you will have a stack that reaches your chest.- Perform the same exercise with $1 billion – this is getting exciting! – and the stack reaches about 34 of a mile into the sky.- Finally, imagine piling up $32 billion, the total of Berkshire’s 2012-21 federal income tax payments. Now the stack grows to more than 21 miles in height, about three times the level at which commercial airplanes usually cruise.When it comes to federal taxes, individuals who own Berkshire can unequivocally state “I gave at the office.”* * * * * * * * * * * *At Berkshire we hope and expect to pay much more in taxes during the next decade. We owe the country no less: America’s dynamism has made a huge contribution to whatever success Berkshire has achieved – a contribution Berkshire will always need. We count on the American Tailwind and, though it has been becalmed from time to time, its propelling force has always returned.I have been investing for 80 years – more than one-third of our country’s lifetime. Despite our citizens’ penchant – almost enthusiasm – for self-criticism and self-doubt, I have yet to see a time when it made sense to make a long-term bet against America. And I doubt very much that any reader of this letter will have a different experience in the future.Nothing Beats Having a Great PartnerCharlie and I think pretty much alike. But what it takes me a page to explain, he sums up in a sentence. His version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned and also more artfully – some might add bluntly – stated.Here are a few of his thoughts, many lifted from a very recent podcast:- The world is full of foolish gamblers, and they will not do as well as the patient investor.- If you don’t see the world the way it is, it’s like judging something through a distorted lens.- All I want to know is where I’m going to die, so I’ll never go there.

Thanks to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) -- which are funds that contain many stocks in one investment -- investors can access hundreds or even thousands of companies with one purchase.</p><p>As you&#39;re investing for retirement, you don&#39;t need tons of stocks to have a well-diversified and productive portfolio; you just need a few ETFs. Here are four that can be your retirement portfolio&#39;s foundation.</p><h2>1. The S&amp;P 500</h2><p>The stock market has three major indexes -- the <b>S&amp;P 500</b>, the <b>Nasdaq Composite,</b> and the <b>Dow Jones</b> -- but the S&amp;P 500 reigns supreme in popularity. Tracking the 500 largest public U.S. companies, the S&amp;P 500 is the most followed index in the stock market, and its performance is often used interchangeably with the overall stock market&#39;s performance. Personally, the S&amp;P 500 will always be in my portfolio.</p><p>An ETF like the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VOO\">Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF </a> is a great option because it&#39;s a trifecta: low cost, instant diversification, and blue chip stocks. It has a 0.03% expense ratio ($3 per $10,000 invested) and contains companies from all major sectors. And maybe more importantly, those companies are blue chip industry leaders that have stood the test of time.</p><p>Since the S&amp;P 500 only contains large-cap stocks, it typically provides more stability than funds with small companies. You might not see the hypergrowth you can with smaller-cap stocks, but the S&amp;P 500 has historically provided good long-term returns. Past results don&#39;t guarantee future performance, but there&#39;s no reason to believe the S&amp;P 500 won&#39;t be a good long-term investment.</p><h2>2. Small caps</h2><p>Small-cap stocks are companies with a market cap between $300 million and $2 billion. Because of their relatively small size, small-cap companies are usually riskier and more volatile than larger-cap stocks. However, this small size also leaves room for high growth potential, which tends to decline as companies reach a certain size.</p><p>You can offset some of the risks of small-cap stocks by investing in a small-cap index like the Russell 2000. The Russell 2000 tracks the smallest 2,000 stocks in the Russell 3000 index, and it&#39;s widely considered the primary benchmark for small-cap stocks (similar to the S&amp;P 500 for large-cap stocks).</p><p>A Russell 2000 ETF such as the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VTWO\">Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF</a> is a great option because of its low cost (0.10%) and mixture of growth and value stocks. You don&#39;t want a large percentage of your retirement portfolio in small-cap funds because of the volatility, but you want some exposure.</p><h2>3. Mid caps</h2><p>Mid-cap stocks can be the sweet middle ground between the stability of large-cap companies and the growth potential of small-cap companies. Mid-cap stocks are companies with a market cap between $2 billion and $10 billion and can either be younger, growing companies or more-established companies that operate in a niche of their industry.</p><p>You don&#39;t want your portfolio to only consist of two extremes (large caps and small caps); you want exposure to companies that operate in the middle. Many mid-cap index funds cover every sector you could want and have historically produced good long-term returns. Take the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VO\">Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF</a>, for example, which contains over 350 companies and has averaged over 9% annual returns since its inception.</p><h2>4. International</h2><p>Every well-rounded stock portfolio should include companies outside the U.S. There are countless great companies around the world, so you don&#39;t want to limit yourself to the U.S. Investing in international companies can, however, require more due diligence because you have to consider things like local politics and the economic stability of the region.</p><p>International markets are classified as either developed or emerging. Developed markets have more-advanced economies, established industries, and solid infrastructure. Emerging markets might not have the advanced economics or infrastructure of developed markets, but they&#39;re generally progressing in the right direction, giving them more upside.</p><p>Instead of spending time researching different regions and the companies within them, you can lean on an international ETF like the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/VXUS\">Vanguard Total International Stock </a>, which contains over 7,900 companies from both developed and emerging regions:</p><ul><li>Europe (39.8%)</li><li>Asia-Pacific (26.8%)</li><li>North America (7.6%)</li><li>Emerging markets (25.3%)</li><li>Middle East (0.5%)</li></ul><p>Ideally, you&#39;d have around 20% of your stock portfolio in international stocks.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>4 ETFs That Can Be Your Retirement Portfolio's Foundation</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n4 ETFs That Can Be Your Retirement Portfolio's Foundation\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-01-22 13:40 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/retirement/2023/01/21/4-etfs-that-can-be-your-retirement-portfolios-foun/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>A very underrated part of investing is how many companies you can invest in with only a few purchases.

Operating earnings refers to the total profits made from the businesses owned by the conglomerate.For the year, the conglomerate’s operating earnings totaled $30.793 billion. That’s up 12.2% from $27.455 billion in 2021.Meanwhile, Berkshire used $2.855 billion to buy back shares in the fourth quarter. That’s lower than the year-earlier period when share repurchases totaled approximately $6.9 billion.Given this, Berkshire’s cash hoard grew to $128.651 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. That’s up from nearly $109 billion in the third quarter.Buffett said in his annual shareholder letter that Berkshire will continue to hold a “boatload” of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with its myriad of businesses. He specified that future CEOs in the company will use their own money to hold Berkshire shares.“As for the future, Berkshire will always hold a boatload of cash and U.S. Treasury bills along with a wide array of businesses.

With the appropriate strategy, allocation, and investing time horizon, this isn&#39;t an impossible goal by any means. As you diversify your basket of stocks to work toward this achievement, it&#39;s important to select quality businesses across a wide variety of sectors with multiple catalysts to sustain continued returns over a period of years.</p><p>For example, if you were to invest $200,000 in the stock market right now, promising companies with innovative, industry-leading businesses ripe for future growth could foreseeably compound that investment by 5 times or more in the next decade. With that said, here are two such stocks that could help you build out your retirement plan.</p><h2>1. Upstart</h2><p><b>Upstart</b> is dealing with extremely choppy market waters right now; however, looking beyond these events to the company&#39;s long-term prospects, an altogether brighter picture forms. To understand why, one has to take a deeper look into the inner workings of Upstart and its business, which is driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company operates a lending marketplace that revolves around its innovative technology platform, which leverages more than 1,600 data points to assess the creditworthiness of any given consumer. In other words, it doesn&#39;t just the FICO score but atypical factors like education and income to help determine this.</p><p>By using a far broader range of factors to determine whether an applicant ought to be approved for a loan, as well as the platform&#39;s predictive capabilities that calibrate to the economic environment to assess the likelihood of that applicant to default, Upstart has not only been able to democratize the long-stale lending arena but also lower risk for institutional partners with more inclusive and real-time data.</p><p>Moreover, because Upstart&#39;s platform is constantly learning, this not only enables it to adjust to the most current economic conditions, but this also means that more of the company&#39;s loan applications are being handled on a fully automated basis.</p><p>In Upstart&#39;s full-year 2022 earnings report, management said that 82% of all loan applications on the platform were fully automated -- the highest level of automation its model has reached in the history of the company. Moreover, 88% of all small-dollar loans are now automated. On top of that, as of the end of 2022, Upstart&#39;s model had learned more in the prior seven months than it had in the entire 30 months before that.</p><p>During 2022, Upstart&#39;s number of bank and credit union partners soared 120% from 2021, and its network of auto dealers jumped more than 90% year over year. Bear in mind, the auto lending market alone represents a near $800 billion opportunity, and as of the end of 2022, the company had the second-fastest-growing auto retail software in the country.</p><p>As Upstart&#39;s platform is constantly learning, a challenging economic environment is inevitably going to mean that it approves fewer loans than it would in a situation where the risk of default is lower, but this would also indicate the exact opposite would happen in a more buoyant economic landscape. At the same time, the combination of institutional partners funding far fewer loans right now and a drop in consumers applying for loans has contributed to the declines in Upstart&#39;s top and bottom lines recently. While investors will need to continue watching these factors closely in the quarters ahead, it&#39;s important to differentiate broader economic headwinds from headwinds tied directly to Upstart&#39;s business.</p><p>The fact that the company is expanding market share, boosting platform automation, and rapidly growing its partner network even in a decidedly bleak lending environment is notable, and could prime the business for a relatively rapid upward trajectory once the economic environment improves and interest rates come down. Even a conservative position in this top growth stock could yield tremendous results over the next five to 10 years when paired with a wide selection of investments in a buy-and-hold investment portfolio. That potential may be too intriguing for some investors to overlook while the stock&#39;s currently trading down.</p><h2>2. Teladoc</h2><p><b>Teladoc</b> investors -- and I am one of them -- have faced more than their fair share of volatile market days over the past year. While shares of this healthcare stock are still down 64% from 12 months ago, they&#39;ve risen roughly 15% since the start of 2023. The market has been far less kind toward unprofitable, growth-oriented businesses in the current economic environment, and Teladoc currently fits squarely into both categories.</p><p>The full 2022 year saw Teladoc achieve some notable goals, while falling short on other fronts. Revenue totaled $2.4 billion for the 12-month period, an 18% increase from 2021. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was down year over year, but still hit $247 million. Teladoc also continues to see rapid adoption across a wide range of its healthcare services, with its teletherapy arm BetterHelp alone posting revenue growth of 29% year over year in the final quarter of 2022.</p><p>Teladoc reported a third impairment charge in Q4 of 2022 after having significantly shaved its net losses in the prior quarter. Specifically, it ended the 12-month period with a net loss of $13.7 billion, almost entirely due to impairment charges related to writing down the value of its 2020 Livongo acquisition. Here&#39;s the thing, though: While this loss is unpleasant to look at as an investor, these were non-cash impairment charges. In other words, paper-only net losses, which are not the same as actual operational losses.</p><p>Even though Teladoc overpaid for that acquisition, its contribution to its overall mission of disrupting the still underserved chronic care solutions market remains a notable green flag for the long-term future of the integration of these two businesses. CEO Jason Gorevic noted the following about its chronic care segment and broader platform expansion on the company&#39;s 2022 earnings call:</p><blockquote>Access to our platform is available to over 80 million individuals in the U.S. today, primarily through our relationships with employers and health plans. Over 50% of that population has access to more than one of our products. And when I look at our suite of chronic care solutions, 30% of enrollees are now utilizing more than one chronic care product. Our BetterHelp offering provided over 1 million individuals with access to mental healthcare over the past year, many of whom are unlikely to have received any care at all, if not for our services.</blockquote><blockquote>Our platform enabled over 22 million visits across specialties last year and over 0.5 billion digital health interactions with an unmatched consumer experience and a net promoter score over 60. That breadth and scale is unrivaled in the industry and gives us a strong foundation on which to expand.</blockquote><p>Teladoc remains the premier telehealth platform in the U.S., and the increasing diversity and adoption of its offerings bode well for its ability to continue expanding its market share in the years ahead. Management has been clear that moving back to profitability is a key goal for the future. The investments Teladoc is making now could yield robust returns for the company and its shareholders in the years ahead. As such, given Teladoc&#39;s long trajectory for growth, forward-thinking investors may find any dips in the stock to be too good to pass up.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $1 Million in Retirement?

But upstream, midstream, and downstream energy stocks are still taking a beating.</p><p>That makes it a critical time to consider where you&#39;ve been putting your money to work and whether you should be investing in dividend stocks to protect your downside. History shows income-generating stocks outperform non-dividend stocks even in the worst of times, so if we&#39;re heading into a new period of market turbulence, it may be the right time to find companies that pay a safe dividend and can pad your pockets during this uncertainty.</p><p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron </a> and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EPD\">Enterprise Products Partners</a> offer two of the most dependable dividends in the energy sector right now.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron </a></h3><p>As one of the biggest integrated energy companies, Chevron stands to benefit from the global need for fossil fuels that will last for years, decades even. Despite alternative fuel sources filling an increasing percentage of our energy needs, there isn&#39;t the capacity available for wind, solar, or biofuels to displace oil and gas as our primary providers.</p><p>Even though oil&#39;s price has dropped from its highs, it remains elevated and will likely stay elevated for some time to come. Chevron has told investors that even if oil drops to $50 a barrel -- what it deems its break-even price -- it would be able to maintain its record-setting stock buyback rate of $10 billion annually plus finance its dividend without worry, while a price of $75 a barrel would allow for further increases in both.</p><p>It also noted that during the depths of the pandemic lockdown with oil averaging $30 a barrel (there was a point where the price even went negative), Chevron maintained its payout while still investing in its business even as many of its rivals suspended their dividends.</p><p>The oil giant has a record of increasing its dividend for 35 consecutive years, most recently in January when it hiked the quarterly payout 6% to $1.42 per share, or $5.68 annually. With a healthy yield of 4.1% annually, Chevron is a Dividend Aristocrat, and its payout remains one of the industry&#39;s safest.</p><h3><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EPD\">Enterprise Products Partners</a></h3><p>Unlike Chevron having its hand in all aspects of the oil and gas supply chain, Enterprise Products Partners specializes in the midstream channel, owning one of the largest pipeline networks in the U.S. with over 50,000 miles of pipeline, 14 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage, and 260 million barrels of storage capacity for natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, refined products, and petrochemicals.

But upstream, midstream, and downstream energy stocks are still taking a beating.That makes it a critical time to consider where you've been putting your money to work and whether you should be investing in dividend stocks to protect your downside. History shows income-generating stocks outperform non-dividend stocks even in the worst of times, so if we're heading into a new period of market turbulence, it may be the right time to find companies that pay a safe dividend and can pad your pockets during this uncertainty.Chevron  and Enterprise Products Partners offer two of the most dependable dividends in the energy sector right now.Chevron As one of the biggest integrated energy companies, Chevron stands to benefit from the global need for fossil fuels that will last for years, decades even. Despite alternative fuel sources filling an increasing percentage of our energy needs, there isn't the capacity available for wind, solar, or biofuels to displace oil and gas as our primary providers.Even though oil's price has dropped from its highs, it remains elevated and will likely stay elevated for some time to come. Chevron has told investors that even if oil drops to $50 a barrel -- what it deems its break-even price -- it would be able to maintain its record-setting stock buyback rate of $10 billion annually plus finance its dividend without worry, while a price of $75 a barrel would allow for further increases in both.It also noted that during the depths of the pandemic lockdown with oil averaging $30 a barrel (there was a point where the price even went negative), Chevron maintained its payout while still investing in its business even as many of its rivals suspended their dividends.The oil giant has a record of increasing its dividend for 35 consecutive years, most recently in January when it hiked the quarterly payout 6% to $1.42 per share, or $5.68 annually. With a healthy yield of 4.1% annually, Chevron is a Dividend Aristocrat, and its payout remains one of the industry's safest.Enterprise Products PartnersUnlike Chevron having its hand in all aspects of the oil and gas supply chain, Enterprise Products Partners specializes in the midstream channel, owning one of the largest pipeline networks in the U.S. with over 50,000 miles of pipeline, 14 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage, and 260 million barrels of storage capacity for natural gas liquids (NGLs), crude oil, refined products, and petrochemicals. It also has 21 NGL processing plants.Enterprise Products Partners is also one of the largest publicly traded partnerships in the country. As the middleman in the process, it thrives because it has a stable stream of revenue and predictable cash flows. Much of its revenue is derived from long-term, fixed-fee, or take-or-pay contracts that mean it gets paid whether its customers accept delivery of the product or not.Although the midstream player doesn't yet have the same longevity as Chevron in raising its dividend, at 23 consecutive years and counting, it is fast closing in on the 25-year threshold needed to become a Dividend Aristocrat.It's also a very safe dividend as its distribution-coverage ratio, or the amount of cash flow available for distribution compared to what the company disburses to its shareholders, of 1.8. The ratio should not fall below 1 as that implies the payout is unsustainable. But even during the pandemic, Enterprise's distribution-coverage ratio never got close to 1 and ended the year at 1.6.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":138,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9095410611,"gmtCreate":1644971784630,"gmtModify":1676533981384,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Trade with care","listText":"Trade with care","text":"Trade with care","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9095410611","repostId":"2211637053","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":130,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9027278120,"gmtCreate":1654045564260,"gmtModify":1676535384289,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Trade with care","listText":"Trade with care","text":"Trade with care","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9027278120","repostId":"2240375487","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2240375487","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1654038585,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2240375487?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-06-01 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-Wall Street Pulls Back After Last Week's Rally With Inflation in Focus","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2240375487","media":"Reuters","summary":"Wall Street's three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile ","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Wall Street&#39;s three major indexes closed lower on Tuesday, following a rally last week, as volatile oil markets kept soaring inflation in focus and investors reacted to hawkish comments from a Federal Reserve official.</p><p>After outperforming earlier in the session, the S&amp;P&#39;s energy sector lost ground after a report that some producers were exploring the idea of suspending Russia&#39;s participation in the OPEC+ production deal.</p><p>Federal Reserve policy was also top of mind for investors as U.S. President Joe Biden and Fed Chair Jerome Powell met on Tuesday to discuss inflation, which Biden said ahead of the meeting was his &#34;top priority.&#34;</p><p>This was after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Monday the U.S. central bank should be prepared to raise rates by a half percentage point at every meeting from now on until inflation is decisively curbed.</p><p>&#34;The market&#39;s trying to figure out the endgame for the Fed,&#34; said Jack Janasiewicz, portfolio manager at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NTXFY\">Natixis</a> Investment Management solutions.</p><p>And while lower commodity prices would be good news for equities in the longer term, the impact of the report about OPEC and Russia on the energy sector may have spooked the broader market a little on Tuesday.</p><p>&#34;That&#39;s the sort of thing that has the market on edge,&#34; said Janasiewicz. &#34;When we started out, the sector leading us higher was energy.&#34;</p><p>By the session&#39;s close, the biggest decliner among the S&amp;P&#39;s 11 major industry sectors was energy, down 1.6%.</p><p>The only sector gainers were consumer discretionary, up 0.8%, with Amazon.com    the S&amp;P&#39;s biggest boost from a single stock on the day, and communications services, up 0.4%, as Google was the S&amp;P&#39;s next biggest contributor.</p><p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 222.84 points, or 0.67%, to 32,990.12, the S&amp;P 500 lost 26.09 points, or 0.63%, to 4,132.15 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 49.74 points, or 0.41%, to 12,081.39.</p><p>All three indexes had rallied last week to snap a decades-long losing streak.</p><p>With Tuesday&#39;s decline, the S&amp;P and the Dow were essentially unchanged for May.

People are really noticing the higher prices at the grocery store,\" she said.Earlier in the day, data showed U.S. consumer confidence eased modestly in May amid persistently high inflation and rising rates, while a separate reading showed U.S. home price growth unexpectedly heated up to record levels in March.Other key data due this week is the monthly non-farm payrolls numbers for cues on the labor market.U.S.-listed shares of Yamana Gold Inc climbed 3.7%after South African miner Gold Fields Ltd agreed to buy the Canadian miner in a $6.7 billion all-share deal.Dexcom Inc closed up 3% after the glucose monitoring systems maker denied a report on merger talks with insulin pump maker Insulet Corp.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 1.82-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.44-to-1 ratio favored decliners.The S&P 500 posted four new 52-week highs and 29 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 53 new highs and 58 new lows.On U.S. exchanges 15.52 billion shares changed hands on Tuesday, compared with the 20-day moving average of 13.25 billion.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":25,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9949133669,"gmtCreate":1678417426951,"gmtModify":1678417430716,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","listText":"[Smile]&nbsp;","text":"[Smile]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9949133669","repostId":"2318221244","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2318221244","pubTimestamp":1678411216,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2318221244?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-03-10 09:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nasdaq 100 (And QQQ) May Be Heading To A New Low","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2318221244","media":"Seeking Alpha","summary":"SummaryJay Powell's Congressional testimony has shocked rates higher.This has led to real yields ris","content":"<html><head></head><body><h2>Summary</h2><ul><li>Jay Powell&#39;s Congressional testimony has shocked rates higher.</li><li>This has led to real yields rising, and a decline in the TIP ETF.</li><li>The Nasdaq tends to follow the TIP ETF very closely.</li></ul><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4ff4fc4fd92b6ef8431c74c9660f2e4\" tg-width=\"750\" tg-height=\"422\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/><span>bernson74/iStock via Getty Images</span></p><p>The Nasdaq 100 ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ) could be on the verge of a significant decline in the coming weeks, potentially reaching new lows.

A $1,000 investment in the company in 1965, when he took over, would have been worth $36 million through 2021.</p><p>Keep in mind that many of Berkshire&#39;s stocks were not selected by Buffett, but were chosen by one of his investing lieutenants, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs, who have also have an impressive investing record. However, it&#39;s usually not clear who picked what.</p><p>That said, three Motley Fool contributors recently picked three consumer-related stocks from Berkshire&#39;s holdings that are timely buys at the start of 2023. Here&#39;s why they like <b>Apple</b>, <b>Kroger</b>, and <b>RH</b>.</p><h2>Buffett&#39;s new favorite</h2><p><b>Jeremy Bowman (Apple): </b>For years, Buffett avoided tech stocks, saying he couldn&#39;t confidently predict future cash flows in the industry.</p><p>However, Berkshire Hathaway began buying Apple in 2016, and the Oracle of Omaha has fully embraced the iPhone maker, calling it &#34;probably the best business&#34; in the world.</p><p>Apple has become Berkshire&#39;s largest holding, representing close to half of its stock portfolio as of the end of the third quarter, and it&#39;s easy to see why Buffett has become a big fan of the tech giant.</p><p>Apple&#39;s economic moat is huge and self-evident. It has an installed base of roughly 2 billion active devices, which form a network of competitive advantages as the devices work best when used together. You can share information through iCloud, for example, and wearables such as AirPods are designed to pair with an iPhone. Apple&#39;s App Store unites its devices through a high-margin services business as the company generally takes a 30% commission on money spent in the App Store.</p><p>The company&#39;s brand and product quality also allowed it to maintain pricing power and high margins on its devices. It continues to gain market share on Android and is the phone of choice among the youngest customers in the U.S., indicating a strong growth pipeline.</p><p>Like other tech giants, Apple is expected to see slow growth this year in response to recessionary headwinds. Even so, the company is making smart moves to plan for the next stage of growth, recently announcing that it would design its own chips in a range of hardware components, bringing business that had been outsourced to chipmakers in-house, which should help boost the company&#39;s margins. It&#39;s also expected to unveil a new mixed-reality headset in June, according to Bloomberg, which could unlock a new revenue stream for the company.</p><p>Currently, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 22, only slightly more expensive than the <b>S&amp;P 500</b> average. Considering its manifest competitive advantages, and ability to grow and expand margins over the long term, that price looks like a great entry point for investors.</p><h2>Your local grocery store is a great investment</h2><p><b>John Ballard (Kroger):</b> Local grocery stores have a lot of advantages serving a large pool of customers within a near proximity. Kroger has capitalized on this position with consistent financial results despite uncertainty in the economy. Management is aiming to deliver annualized shareholder returns between 8% and 11% over the long term. However, the stock trades at a low multiple of earnings, which makes it a solid buy in 2023.</p><p>The sky-high inflation over the last year hasn&#39;t hurt Kroger&#39;s business. It&#39;s actually brought more good for the company&#39;s growth, since eating at home is much less expensive than dining out. In the most recent quarter, Kroger reported comparable sales, or what it calls identical sales, of 6.9% over the year-ago quarter. Adjusted earnings grew even faster at 12.8%, which is better than management&#39;s long-term goal to grow earnings between 3% and 5% per year.</p><p>Kroger is a profitable and durable business with growth opportunities. It generates a very slim profit margin, but it reinvests into the stores to drive traffic. That churns out higher revenue and profits, which also fuels investment in higher-margin revenue streams, such as private label brands.</p><p>Kroger can do all that while also distributing dividend payments to shareholders. Over the last four quarters, it paid out more than a third of its earnings per share in dividends, bringing the yield to about 2.04%. Combine this above-average dividend yield with a cheap price-to-earnings ratio of 11 based on forward earnings estimates and it all adds up to a solid stock to hold in this rocky market environment.</p><h2>Getting ready for a big comeback</h2><p><b>Jennifer Saibil (RH):</b> RH had a huge setback at the end of 2022 as inflation cut into its sales and disrupted its margins. Even as many stocks are showing signs of recovery a few weeks into 2023, RH stock remains down about 30% over the past year.</p><p>But this looks like an excellent opportunity, and it&#39;s a classic Buffett move. RH stock looks significantly undervalued. It trades at less than 12 times trailing-12-month earnings, which is cheap even in this market.</p><p>Yet it has outperformed the broader market over time, in fact by huge amounts, under better circumstances.</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/76d74a56cb691de583246c6895d24c0b\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"/><span>RH data by YCharts</span></p><p>Considering its business model and opportunities, RH has enormous potential to do that again.</p><p>RH sells luxury furniture, but the company has embarked on a process of becoming a leading luxury brand. Its core business is selling upscale products through its galleries in select affluent communities and its web portal.

A $1,000 investment in the company in 1965, when he took over, would have been worth $36 million through 2021.Keep in mind that many of Berkshire's stocks were not selected by Buffett, but were chosen by one of his investing lieutenants, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs, who have also have an impressive investing record. However, it's usually not clear who picked what.That said, three Motley Fool contributors recently picked three consumer-related stocks from Berkshire's holdings that are timely buys at the start of 2023. Here's why they like Apple, Kroger, and RH.Buffett's new favoriteJeremy Bowman (Apple): For years, Buffett avoided tech stocks, saying he couldn't confidently predict future cash flows in the industry.However, Berkshire Hathaway began buying Apple in 2016, and the Oracle of Omaha has fully embraced the iPhone maker, calling it \"probably the best business\" in the world.Apple has become Berkshire's largest holding, representing close to half of its stock portfolio as of the end of the third quarter, and it's easy to see why Buffett has become a big fan of the tech giant.Apple's economic moat is huge and self-evident. It has an installed base of roughly 2 billion active devices, which form a network of competitive advantages as the devices work best when used together. You can share information through iCloud, for example, and wearables such as AirPods are designed to pair with an iPhone. Apple's App Store unites its devices through a high-margin services business as the company generally takes a 30% commission on money spent in the App Store.The company's brand and product quality also allowed it to maintain pricing power and high margins on its devices. It continues to gain market share on Android and is the phone of choice among the youngest customers in the U.S., indicating a strong growth pipeline.Like other tech giants, Apple is expected to see slow growth this year in response to recessionary headwinds. Even so, the company is making smart moves to plan for the next stage of growth, recently announcing that it would design its own chips in a range of hardware components, bringing business that had been outsourced to chipmakers in-house, which should help boost the company's margins. It's also expected to unveil a new mixed-reality headset in June, according to Bloomberg, which could unlock a new revenue stream for the company.Currently, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 22, only slightly more expensive than the S&P 500 average. Considering its manifest competitive advantages, and ability to grow and expand margins over the long term, that price looks like a great entry point for investors.Your local grocery store is a great investmentJohn Ballard (Kroger): Local grocery stores have a lot of advantages serving a large pool of customers within a near proximity. Kroger has capitalized on this position with consistent financial results despite uncertainty in the economy. Management is aiming to deliver annualized shareholder returns between 8% and 11% over the long term. However, the stock trades at a low multiple of earnings, which makes it a solid buy in 2023.The sky-high inflation over the last year hasn't hurt Kroger's business. It's actually brought more good for the company's growth, since eating at home is much less expensive than dining out. In the most recent quarter, Kroger reported comparable sales, or what it calls identical sales, of 6.9% over the year-ago quarter. Adjusted earnings grew even faster at 12.8%, which is better than management's long-term goal to grow earnings between 3% and 5% per year.Kroger is a profitable and durable business with growth opportunities. It generates a very slim profit margin, but it reinvests into the stores to drive traffic. That churns out higher revenue and profits, which also fuels investment in higher-margin revenue streams, such as private label brands.Kroger can do all that while also distributing dividend payments to shareholders. Over the last four quarters, it paid out more than a third of its earnings per share in dividends, bringing the yield to about 2.04%. Combine this above-average dividend yield with a cheap price-to-earnings ratio of 11 based on forward earnings estimates and it all adds up to a solid stock to hold in this rocky market environment.Getting ready for a big comebackJennifer Saibil (RH): RH had a huge setback at the end of 2022 as inflation cut into its sales and disrupted its margins. Even as many stocks are showing signs of recovery a few weeks into 2023, RH stock remains down about 30% over the past year.But this looks like an excellent opportunity, and it's a classic Buffett move. RH stock looks significantly undervalued. It trades at less than 12 times trailing-12-month earnings, which is cheap even in this market.Yet it has outperformed the broader market over time, in fact by huge amounts, under better circumstances.RH data by YChartsConsidering its business model and opportunities, RH has enormous potential to do that again.RH sells luxury furniture, but the company has embarked on a process of becoming a leading luxury brand. Its core business is selling upscale products through its galleries in select affluent communities and its web portal. It has developed several exclusive lines that cater to this niche, with the advantages of high margins and a resilient clientele that has spending money even when the economy is volatile.Also, RH branched out into luxury experiences, including several high-end restaurants, a guesthouse, and yacht and jet rentals. It recently hired well-known editor Margaret Russell to direct RH Media.The company has resisted changing its strategy for the short-term benefits of raising sales through promotions. It has, even more so, continued to implement its efforts to build its premium brand through several acquisitions.The risk here is that business doesn't come back so quickly, and that will depend on the state of the economy. But with sales down, year-over-year comparisons are in its favor. Any progress is likely to result in a higher stock price even if the economy remains pressured, and strong sales could lead to a surging stock. Whether or not that happens in 2023, RH stock looks like an outstanding long-term opportunity to create shareholder wealth.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":164,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9019993231,"gmtCreate":1648511456054,"gmtModify":1676534346947,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Trade with care","listText":"Trade with care","text":"Trade with care","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9019993231","repostId":"2223815189","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2223815189","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1648507232,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2223815189?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-03-29 06:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"US STOCKS-S&P 500 Climbs for Third Straight Day as Tesla Leads","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2223815189","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - The S&P 500 rose for a third day on Monday, as a sharp climb in shares of Tesla overshadowed weakness in energy and bank stocks, while Russia and Ukraine were poised to hold their first fa","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>(Reuters) - The S&amp;P 500 rose for a third day on Monday, as a sharp climb in shares of Tesla overshadowed weakness in energy and bank stocks, while Russia and Ukraine were poised to hold their first face-to-face peace talks in more than two weeks.</p><p>Electric-car maker <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TSLA\">Tesla Inc</a> jumped 8.03% and was the biggest boost to the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq after saying it will seek investor approval to increase its number of shares to enable a stock split, helping to lift the consumer discretionary index as the best-performing sector on the session.</p><p>The S&amp;P energy index, off 2.56%, was the worst-performing sector on the session. <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/XOM\">Exxon Mobil Corp</a> lost 2.81% and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CVX\">Chevron Corp</a> fell 1.75%.</p><p>Financials were also among the weaker sectors on the session, due in part to a Morgan Stanley downgrade on U.S. banks, which cited escalating risks and the likelihood that rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have already been priced in by the market.

After calling the bottom in my &#34;Stocks Are Heading Higher&#34; article, I indicated that the likely top for the rally would arrive in the 4,000-4,200. The market recently topped out around 4,200, after a textbook 20% bear market rally. Now, the SPX is at another critical inflection point, and despite a 6% correction from the recent high, the market could go significantly lower as we advance in the coming months. In addition to deteriorating technical conditions, inflation remains persistent.</p><p>Moreover, we&#39;re seeing worsening economic indicators, implying that the increased rate environment reflects poorly on the economy. Furthermore, due to the persistent inflation problem, the Fed will probably continue raising the benchmark rate, remaining relatively hawkish. Consumer sentiment and other crucial consumer-related readings will likely worsen along with the labor market leading to more pain on Main Street. As corporate profits worsen in the near term, the stock market will probably head lower, causing some panic on Wall Street in the coming months.</p><p>SPX - At Another Inflection Point<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/79e4c150b976cb211ccb6f5f67170f37\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"676\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>SPX(StockCharts.com)</p><p>The SPX is around critical support at 3,940 - 4,000, coinciding with the 50, and the 200-day moving averages. If the SPX decisively breaks down below this crucial support level, the market could swiftly drop to 3,800 support. If the 3,800 support breaks down, the market will likely retest 3,500 and move lower toward my long-term bear market bottom level at 3,000-3,200. This drop would equate to approximately 20-25% more downside from current levels. Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating fundamental factors surrounding the economy, there&#39;s a high probability that the SPX will revisit the 3,500 - 3,000 before achieving a true bottom. The peak-to-trough decline (4,800 to 3,000) would equate to a drop of approximately 38%, easily comparable to previous bear markets in recent history.</p><p><b>There&#39;s a Chance</b></p><p>Although the probability is relatively low, SPX&#39;s support could hold here, and we may see the market rebound and move higher. However, due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, the near-term upside is likely limited, and the path of least resistance is to the downside now. Also, it&#39;s premature to call an end to the bear market, and I am highly skeptical that a new bull market began in October and that the SPX will reach new highs soon.</p><p>Why Inflation Remains a Big Problem</p><p><b>CPI Inflation</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/10057ace35cbf6a1921aa9cae02f6d0b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"302\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>CPI(TradingEconomics.com )</p><p>Inflation peaked at around 9% last year, and the Fed has raised rates significantly, utilizing other programs like QT to bring the inflation problem under control. There&#39;s been some success as inflation has come down from the ultra-high levels not seen in the last forty years. Nevertheless, inflation is still running red hot above 6%, while the Fed&#39;s target rate remains at 2%. Moreover, after several months of constructive inflation readings, January&#39;s CPI came in hotter than expected.</p><p><b>The Recent CPI Report</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5f7c22ef79685f6f2789bc39233660b5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"156\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>CPI (January)(Investing.com )</p><p>The market expected a drop to 6.2%, but the CPI came in at 6.4%, missing estimates and barely budging from the prior month&#39;s reading of 6.5%.

So, inflation is moving in the wrong direction, and this trend of persistently higher-than-expected inflation could continue. Furthermore, the PCE reading is critical as it&#39;s the Fed&#39;s preferred inflation gauge. Therefore, we will likely continue seeing tighter monetary for longer, which is a negative development for stocks and other risk assets.</p><p><b>Is the Fed Doing Too Much or Not Enough?</b></p><p>Unfortunately, the Fed is between a rock and a hard place. Remember all that talk about inflation being a transitory phenomenon and everything should be fine? I remember this specific rhetoric as the Fed printed money like there was no tomorrow. I always expressed that inflation would not be as &#34;transitory&#34; as the Fed claimed and that the economy would suffer significantly. Well, here we are. The Fed is battling highly persistent inflation, anything but transitory, and the economy is worsening considerably.</p><p><b>The Worsening Economy</b></p><p>Have you seen the recent economic readings? I see many problems, and they&#39;re not likely to go away anytime soon. Let&#39;s put inflation aside and look at some troubling critical economic data that&#39;s come out recently.</p><p>Just from the start of February, we&#39;ve seenISM manufacturing PMI, factory orders, consumer expectations, industrial production, building, housing, GDP, consumer confidence, oil inventories, and other crucial data points come in worse than expected. Moreover, the worse-than-expected data is coming in below lowered estimates, and even most of the better-than-anticipated data does not look great.</p><p><b>Is the Labor Market an Exception?</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ada4e0ca1e2a60decab85dee6c4f940a\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"209\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Jobs data(Investing.com)</p><p>The latest nonfarm payrolls report came in significantly better than expected. The economy added 517K jobs while expectations were for 185K. The unemployment rate also dropped to a rock bottom of 3.4%. So, how can the economy worsen while the labor market remains this robust? First, the labor market data is a lagging indicator, not indicative of future results. Secondly, the labor market appeared very strong in other cycles just before the worst part of a downturn began. And thirdly, the labor market may be one of the last dominoes standing, and when it falls, it could drag the stock market substantially lower. We&#39;ve recently seen numerous companies reporting mass layoffs. These firings take time to filter through the system and should impact payroll reports negatively in the coming months. Moreover, not all jobs are the same. As major corporations cut hundreds of thousands of relatively high-paying jobs to improve efficiency and increase profitability, those fortunate enough to find new jobs will likely fill lower-paying positions. As this phenomenon persists, millions of consumers could suffer due to being pinched from multiple sides by high inflation and lower wages.</p><p><b>Valuations Are Not Cheap Anymore</b></p><p>We&#39;ve seen many companies&#39; earnings stagnate or decline in recent quarters. As the consumer continues to soften, lower earnings could continue as we advance in the near/intermediate term. Also, we&#39;ve seen many stocks appreciate considerably in the recent rally. Thus, while many valuations appeared cheap and attractive, with the SPX around 3,500, many companies are not cheap anymore and could become even more expensive as earnings and future estimates stumble in the coming months.</p><p><b>Shiller P/E Ratio</b></p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a5c0cae380760ab0af564889c1e421d0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"297\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"/></p><p>Shiller P/E(multpl.com)</p><p>We&#39;ve seen the Shiller P/E (cyclically adjusted &#34;CAPE&#34;) ratio come down some from the bubble days of November 2021. However, at around 29, the CAPE is still highly elevated, implying that most stocks are not cheap and likely have more room to fall as we grind through this bear market. The historical mean for the CAPE is 17, roughly 40% below its current level. If the CAPE reverts to its mean in this bear market, we could see the SPX bottom around 2,400. However, this ultra-bearish 50% peak-to-trough decline scenario is not a high-probability event due to the Fed and other factors. Nevertheless, the CAPE should move lower before going higher again, and my estimate for a bottom is around the 22-23 level, roughly in line with the 3,000-3,200 level in the SPX.</p><p><b>The Bottom Line</b></p><p>We&#39;ve seen a textbook 20% bear market rally lift stocks from the profoundly oversold 3,500 level in the SPX. Many stocks have appreciated considerably, some by 100% or more in this relatively short time frame. However, the rally ended around 4,200 due to the lack of constructive catalysts capable of propelling stocks into a new bull market. Moreover, we see persistently high inflation, and the recent progress is overshadowed by the higher-than-anticipated inflation results last month. Therefore, the Fed will likely continue raising interest rates and could remain hawkish for longer as the inflation problem persists.</p><p>Moreover, critical economic indicators and many corporate profits continue worsening, implying more pain ahead for Main Street and Wall Street. Furthermore, most stocks are not cheap here. Thus, many could drop precipitously if the selling accelerates. If SPX breaks below support (decisively) around 4,000, it could cascade to 3,800 next and 3,500 or lower afterward.

After calling the bottom in my \"Stocks Are Heading Higher\" article, I indicated that the likely top for the rally would arrive in the 4,000-4,200. The market recently topped out around 4,200, after a textbook 20% bear market rally. Now, the SPX is at another critical inflection point, and despite a 6% correction from the recent high, the market could go significantly lower as we advance in the coming months. In addition to deteriorating technical conditions, inflation remains persistent.Moreover, we're seeing worsening economic indicators, implying that the increased rate environment reflects poorly on the economy. Furthermore, due to the persistent inflation problem, the Fed will probably continue raising the benchmark rate, remaining relatively hawkish. Consumer sentiment and other crucial consumer-related readings will likely worsen along with the labor market leading to more pain on Main Street. As corporate profits worsen in the near term, the stock market will probably head lower, causing some panic on Wall Street in the coming months.SPX - At Another Inflection PointSPX(StockCharts.com)The SPX is around critical support at 3,940 - 4,000, coinciding with the 50, and the 200-day moving averages. If the SPX decisively breaks down below this crucial support level, the market could swiftly drop to 3,800 support. If the 3,800 support breaks down, the market will likely retest 3,500 and move lower toward my long-term bear market bottom level at 3,000-3,200. This drop would equate to approximately 20-25% more downside from current levels. Unfortunately, due to the deteriorating fundamental factors surrounding the economy, there's a high probability that the SPX will revisit the 3,500 - 3,000 before achieving a true bottom. The peak-to-trough decline (4,800 to 3,000) would equate to a drop of approximately 38%, easily comparable to previous bear markets in recent history.There's a ChanceAlthough the probability is relatively low, SPX's support could hold here, and we may see the market rebound and move higher. However, due to the challenging macroeconomic environment, the near-term upside is likely limited, and the path of least resistance is to the downside now. Also, it's premature to call an end to the bear market, and I am highly skeptical that a new bull market began in October and that the SPX will reach new highs soon.Why Inflation Remains a Big ProblemCPI InflationCPI(TradingEconomics.com )Inflation peaked at around 9% last year, and the Fed has raised rates significantly, utilizing other programs like QT to bring the inflation problem under control.

Finance.</p><p>Among the big winners on Monday, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/W\">Wayfair</a> </b>(W 26.80%) impressed shareholders with a second straight day of huge share-price gains, this time prompted by optimistic views of the online furniture specialist. Meanwhile, <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SI\">Silvergate Capital</a> </b>(SI 16.75%) mounted a comeback of its own, and shareholders are seeing some favorable trends in the cryptocurrency market  that could signal a big recovery for the bank. Find out more about both of these stocks below.</p><h2>Wayfair earns praise from Wall Street</h2><p>Wayfair was up 20% on Friday, and it added another 27% on Monday. After making some tough choices, the online furniture pioneer got words of encouragement from stock analysts on Wall Street.</p><p>Friday&#39;s gains came as Wayfair said it would lay off about 1,750 employees as part of its broad cost-cutting efforts. Investors were generally pleased with the prospect of Wayfair cutting expenses by as much as $1.4 billion annually because sentiment has been favorable for companies that have been able to pivot toward prioritizing near-term profits.</p><p>On Monday, stock analysts got around to assessing the move and were generally pleased. BofA analysts gave Wayfair a rare double upgrade, moving their rating on the stock all the way from underperform to buy and more than doubling their price target on the stock from $30 per share to $65. BofA believes that Wayfair should be able to post positive adjusted pre-tax operating earnings in 2023, and it anticipates further share-price gains are possible even after the big jump. Analysts at <b>JPMorgan </b>(JPM 1.62%) also gave a double upgrade from underweight to overweight, and Wedbush raised its rating to outperform as well.</p><p>It&#39;s uncommon for a stock to see huge gains twice in a row. At this point, those watching Wayfair have high hopes for the company to make good on its promises for cost reductions and near-term profitability. It&#39;ll now be up to Wayfair to handle those higher expectations.</p><h2>Silvergate looks to claw back its losses</h2><p>Silvergate Capital shares were up 17% on Monday. The crypto-focused banking institution gave investors some good news on what could have been a tough situation, and improving market conditions in cryptocurrency also helped boost sentiment.</p><p>Late Friday, Silvergate issued a statement showing that it had extremely  limited exposure to the recent bankruptcy filing of crypto lending specialist Genesis. Genesis had less than $2.5 million in deposits at the end of 2022 and as of last Thursday. Moreover, Genesis isn&#39;t a custodian under Silvergate&#39;s SEN Leverage loan program, and Silvergate has no outstanding loans to Genesis or investments in the crypto lender.</p><p>Silvergate likely also benefited from rising crypto prices.

The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led indexes higher, and the S&P 500 (^GSPC 1.19%) climbed back over the 4,000 mark even as it and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 0.76%) also put up healthy gains.IndexDaily Percentage ChangeDaily Point ChangeDow+0.76%+254S&P 500+1.19%+47Nasdaq+2.01%+224Data source: Yahoo! Finance.Among the big winners on Monday, Wayfair (W 26.80%) impressed shareholders with a second straight day of huge share-price gains, this time prompted by optimistic views of the online furniture specialist. Meanwhile, Silvergate Capital (SI 16.75%) mounted a comeback of its own, and shareholders are seeing some favorable trends in the cryptocurrency market  that could signal a big recovery for the bank. Find out more about both of these stocks below.Wayfair earns praise from Wall StreetWayfair was up 20% on Friday, and it added another 27% on Monday. After making some tough choices, the online furniture pioneer got words of encouragement from stock analysts on Wall Street.Friday's gains came as Wayfair said it would lay off about 1,750 employees as part of its broad cost-cutting efforts. Investors were generally pleased with the prospect of Wayfair cutting expenses by as much as $1.4 billion annually because sentiment has been favorable for companies that have been able to pivot toward prioritizing near-term profits.On Monday, stock analysts got around to assessing the move and were generally pleased. BofA analysts gave Wayfair a rare double upgrade, moving their rating on the stock all the way from underperform to buy and more than doubling their price target on the stock from $30 per share to $65. BofA believes that Wayfair should be able to post positive adjusted pre-tax operating earnings in 2023, and it anticipates further share-price gains are possible even after the big jump. Analysts at JPMorgan (JPM 1.62%) also gave a double upgrade from underweight to overweight, and Wedbush raised its rating to outperform as well.It's uncommon for a stock to see huge gains twice in a row. At this point, those watching Wayfair have high hopes for the company to make good on its promises for cost reductions and near-term profitability. It'll now be up to Wayfair to handle those higher expectations.Silvergate looks to claw back its lossesSilvergate Capital shares were up 17% on Monday. The crypto-focused banking institution gave investors some good news on what could have been a tough situation, and improving market conditions in cryptocurrency also helped boost sentiment.Late Friday, Silvergate issued a statement showing that it had extremely  limited exposure to the recent bankruptcy filing of crypto lending specialist Genesis. Genesis had less than $2.5 million in deposits at the end of 2022 and as of last Thursday. Moreover, Genesis isn't a custodian under Silvergate's SEN Leverage loan program, and Silvergate has no outstanding loans to Genesis or investments in the crypto lender.Silvergate likely also benefited from rising crypto prices. After a terrible year in 2022, several digital assets have mounted impressive comebacks, including some of the largest cryptocurrencies in the world. That, in turn, bolstered confidence that the crypto-related companies that keep money on deposit with Silvergate would be able to sustain and grow their banking relationships, hopefully prompting a turnaround.Silvergate is still reeling from a huge drop in deposits recently. But if it can weather the storm long enough for the crypto universe to recover, investors might find today's share prices for Silvergate too good to resist.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":52,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9022578085,"gmtCreate":1653559892747,"gmtModify":1676535303927,"author":{"id":"4094852596308640","authorId":"4094852596308640","name":"TKY1978","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6cd12a4c4a07fc4dec7e7f7343b18227","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4094852596308640","authorIdStr":"4094852596308640"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Time to buy","listText":"Time to buy","text":"Time to buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9022578085","repostId":"2238318565","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2238318565","pubTimestamp":1653550825,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2238318565?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2022-05-26 15:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"3 Things About Apple That Smart Investors Know","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2238318565","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"There's a lot more to the tech giant than its annual iPhone shipments.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>If you&#39;ve been following <b>Apple</b> from an investment perspective -- and even if you haven&#39;t -- you probably already know that most of its revenue comes from sales of the iPhone.
